Two years ago, I was privileged to cover another NAIA tournament with the women's team from Point Loma Nazarene University. During a postgame interview after a quarterfinal game, PLNU's head coach Bill Westphal said on-the-air that the good news was his team was in the Final Four, the bad news was he was out of clean underwear because he didn't pack enough clothes to stay through the weekend. Those comments were in the San Diego newspaper the next morning.
Here I am with a team in the Final Two, and I realized last night I wasn't going to make it with the clothes left in my suitcase. Either I can't count, or in my subconscious I didn't really think I would be gone this long. So there I was this morning, hunting for a laundromat in Sioux City. I deserve that inconvenience for doubting what was possible with this team that has met every challenge this season. I don't know basketball that well, but after seeing last night's contest, I don't see how they lose tonight.
Sorry to bore you with my "dirty laundry", but wanted you to know the WIWU-TV team will be there again tonight for all the action. I'll be there too, confident, and clean.
Go Wildcats!
