And the fans here want to make sure that their team knows that the fans have been behind this team all season long. Even through the hard times, the wittenberg injury when they were nine and seven, the tough losses to Notre Dame Memphis State. I remember the Notre Dame game after that when I was in the locker room. It was, I've never been such a down locker room in my life, but coach BVA said we're going to keep our heads up. Something is going to happen. And by golly, it did through the AC C tournament, the NCAA tournament, they are the national champions and these people love them to, you know, the old saying goes, everybody loves the love story.

Lonzo Charles, a sophomore from Brooklyn New York. Lorenzo looks stunned but he finally does have a smile on his face. Lorenzo looked stunned when he made the basket last night. He thought time maybe had run out what a great factor he was in the AC C tournament and the N C A tournament state would not have gotten to the championship if it had not been for Lorenzo Charles here.
