That's a good one.
There's no fun in believing in coincidences.

The second the game was over I pointed that out to my wife. We were at that game in Dec 1990.

Let’s hope so! I love the stat anyway. I feel like Pope can be really special with the right players. He’s way ahead where I thought we would be this year. He certainly coaches well enough most nights to win big. We know how smart he is and he played under one of the best to ever do it.
