Welcome into the CC podcast, everybody. It is, man, 11.m. here on what is now ACC Championship Saturday. It's Mike Rutherford. It's Dan Snerd. No spaces tonight. We're just doing an emergency podcast. If you're up at 2 a.m. listening to this, God love you. This is for you. If you're listening to it on Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon, that's cool too. We're here for you. We're here for the people. Dan, I kind of wish we were

recording this in the morning because I feel like when I wake up, like I'm going to be fine.

When I wake up in the morning, it's like, oh, here we go.

Fresh slate, ACC tournament championship game, Duke, Selection Sunday Eve.

Like, this is a dream. This is what we could have never even fathomed this a year ago.

But right now, I'm like, there's, don't be wrong. I'm thrilled. I'm ecstatic. This is also a dream.

But there's definitely a part to me that's like, I, I can't shake the feeling of the last 15 minutes of that game and everything that happened.

And it's, we all kind of thought we were going to breeze into this feeling really, really good with like a 15, 10 point victory and all vibes positive.

And it was just a little bit of a damper to see that get very, very, very dicey at the end there.

Like I said, in the morning, I think I'll wake up.

I'll be totally fine.

But right now, I'm still, I'm shaking the funk off right now, then.

I totally understand that.

I mean, I think, I think we're all kind of emotionally in the same boat, but at the same time, and I, you know, I swear on this, like, you can ask people I was watching the game

with, when we were up 13, I i was like we got to get up 20

or this is going to come down to the last 30 seconds like there's just something about postseason

march where like i mean could the whistle have been any different in the first half than it was

the last two minutes i'm like okay well like first half there's assault any different in the first half than it was the last two minutes.

I'm like, okay, well, like, first half, there's assault going out in the lane.

And then the last two minutes, like, you know, you bump a guy and they're at the foul line.

Like, so it's just tough.

Did we make mistakes?
