The New York Times > Sports > Albuquerque Regional: First Final Four for Louisville Since 1986: "When Louisville blocked a shot by J. D. Collins with seven seconds left in regulation and the score tied, and Dean missed right before the buzzer, Pitino charged onto the court as if his team were already on the way to St. Louis for the Final Four.

'We're definitely going to win,' he said he told his players. 'I see it. I know it.'

When asked after the game why he was so certain, Pitino said, 'That might have been the only mistruth.'"
