Paul Mills got emotional when talking about his team after Oral Roberts was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament on Saturday.
The Golden Eagles made a run in March Madness and were leading Arkansas most of the game until losing at the very end. They were trying to become the first 15-seed to make the Elite Eight but fell short, losing 72-20.
After the game, Mills reflected on his team and got emotional while calling them his favorite team ever.
“I’ll try to say this without crying … my favorite team ever. They mean a lot to me,” Mills said.

Mills was upset with himself for picking up a technical foul late in the game. Knowing they lost by two, he feels the tech was even more detrimental.
“Losing is totally my fault … when you get a technical and lose by two, it’s a tough pill to swallow,” Mills said.
They had a fantastic season, but it’s hard seeing it come to an end, especially when you think you could have done even better.
