Students at UC San Diego spent the week trying to cross off one particular letter. They told ABC 10News Anchor Jared Aarons it's a fun way to share their joy of seeing the Tritons in the Big Dance.

Consider this: Michigan played three Quad 1 games in a row to win the Big Ten Tournament. That matches the number of Quad 1 games UC San Diego played all season. The Tritons split a pair of close games on the road against eventual NCAA Tournament teams, losing at play-in loser San Diego State and winning at 10 seed Utah State.
