The Unbridled Joy of Mid-Major Basketball
When you’ve got 364 teams vying for attention in Division I basketball, you can bet your bottom dollar that things are going to get weird. And that’s exactly what happens when a mid-major like Omaha starts racking up wins.
The Art of Celebration
Take Omaha’s assistant coach, for instance. This guy has mastered the art of celebration. He’s worked his way up from a humble spike to a field goal kick, and now, he’s graduated to belting a trash can in the locker room. It’s a beautiful thing, really. Who wouldn’t want to unleash their inner wild child when their team is on a roll?
The Power of the Underdog
Now, you might be thinking, “Who cares about Omaha?” And that’s fair. But let’s not forget that they’re part of the same conference that brought us Oral Roberts and South Dakota State – teams that always seem to make things interesting come March Madness. The Summit League may not be the powerhouse of college basketball, but it’s precisely this kind of underdog spirit that makes their victories all the more sweet.
The Beauty of Mid-Major Madness
The key to Omaha’s success lies in their willingness to embrace the weird. You won’t find this kind of unbridled enthusiasm at an SEC powerhouse or a Villanova-type program. No, this kind of joy is reserved for the true mid-majors, where the stakes are lower and the celebrations can get a little more…unconventional.
A Trash Can’s Place in History
So, if Omaha makes it to the NCAA Tournament, you can bet your bottom dollar that a trash can will be sitting proudly on the bench next to Kyan Brown. It may not make sense, but who cares? It’s all about embracing the absurdity of it all. And who knows, maybe that trash can will become the good luck charm that propels Omaha to victory. Stranger things have happened, right?
