We can control what we do every single day, and when you talk about dream season, this isn’t a dream season because we’re 34–3 or whatever we are. All those things are something that we can’t control. “We don’t talk about those that don’t believe in us,” May said. They have a core that’s been together for at least a couple seasons for the most part, and they’re certainly not playing the disrespect card internally when they turn the TV off and put their social media-connected phones away. If anything, the Owls are built a little bit like a team you may be familiar with. ![]() Elite Eight mainstay Gonzaga is a two-point dog to UConn, for instance. ![]() The point with this FAU team is that you shouldn’t let the unfamiliarity with the brand sway your opinion on the school from Boca Raton, Florida. “I had a good friend say, I wouldn’t lose the first one if I were you, and I was like, wait a minute, we’re not in? I was probably a little bit-I probably should have been more concerned.” “I felt like we were in before the Conference USA tournament,” May said. 4 seed Tennessee, and a two-point underdog to No. 16 seed Fairleigh-Dickinson (a real Cinderella), a four-point underdog to No. It may be easy, but it’s not exactly fair to this FAU team that was a 16-point favorite over No. The Owls’ coach admitted he didn’t even think they needed to make a run in their conference tournament. FAU is 17th in KenPom rating, and 33rd in the committee’s true seed list. Goliath to an audience that drops into the sport briefly, and the fact that seed upsets are expected, therefore their frequency becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. There are myriad reasons for that: the transfer portal, the very best players sometimes not even playing in college basketball, the one-and-done rule, the perceived lack of skill overall, the fact that it’s just easier to cast David vs. Some of that is due to the sport’s consumption pattern that has skewed more and more into solely just a three-week impact in broader pop culture. We crave the Cinderella stories when the NCAA tournament comes around. Everybody has been here and if you can’t respect what we’ve built over here then it’s O.K.” All these guys in this room have been here two or three years besides Jalen Gaffney but everybody else is rooted in this program. “If people can’t respect what we’re doing they’re just hating. ![]() I really feel like that just comes from everybody else: The comments that people make, scouting reports, that’s where it comes from,” FAU guard Nick Boyd says. FAU came into the dance at 31–3 having won its conference regular season, conference tournament crown and at one point ripping off 20 straight wins. TLDR This is depression packaged into a cheery, weird package so that the person listening doesn't worry about him and just laughs/thinks he's ridiculous.exactly like how Majima presents himself.NEW YORK - It doesn’t matter whether you play in the ACC, the AAC or Division III, winning 31 games before the NCAA tournament is impressive. The exaggerated optimism of the dance and everything are to cheer up/reassure the "princess" so she won't feel sad. Finally, there's the reiteration that he'll always love her no matter what, and even after they part ways in life, they can wish upon the stars and meet in their dreams. There's also a line about how normalcy is his treasure (the earth turning, the sun rising, and "your smile") but we all know normalcy is something Majima will never have. Behind the crazy visuals and cheesy idol pop tune is an earnest love song to Makoto where he acknowledges they'll never be together, yet he's committed to "finding a glass slipper that fits" and promising "it will never come off"- aka, giving her the life she deserves and making sure she'll never lose it again. I first saw this video before ever playing Yakuza and thought it was random and hilarious, but after playing 0 and reading the full lyrics, this just breaks me. ![]()
