We're not throwing away our shot!
We're not throwing away our shot!
Hey yo, wer're just like our coach is
We're young, scrappy and focused
And we're not throwing away our shot!
We'll get a seed in the Tournament
I prolly shouldn’t say that it's certain yet
The problem is we got a few more games to win
We gotta play better to get our team in
With every game, it gets tougher
We're a diamond in the rough, a pioneering young squad
Tryin’ to reach the Tourney while the doubters cry "fraud!"
Never made it to the Dance
For decades, the Cats were pantsed
By the Hawkeyes and the Hoosiers
And those Illini--whiny loosers!
We played a non-con slate
That showed enough to make them state
These Cats look pretty good, so let me stake a claim
We are not the same NU basketball
Many times have you seen us fall
And people dissed up endlessly
But Collins recruits relentlessly
And now Dr. Jim shows a spending spree
We gonna upgrade our facility
And there will be a Wildcat Tourney team.
Enter CCC!
Don’t be shocked when we make history
I will lay down my life for a a seventh seed
Soon you will see our ascendency
And we're not throwing away
Our shot!
And we're not throwing away
Our shot!
Hey yo, we're just like our coach is
We're young, scrappy and focused
And we're not throwing away this shot!
