I've been around WSU basketball my entire life, and have seen some pretty amazing teams; however, this team has shown the most chemistry and teamanship out of all past Weber State teams. In my opinion that is perhaps the greatest accomplishments of this years team. Thanks Cats on an outstanding year... I'm in complete shock, and couldn't sleep last night (partly because my throat and head hurt sooo bad from yelling) because I felt badly for you guys. No worries (I'm sure you all wished it were the NCAA's) We will be with you where ever you play next week!!!
