I was there!
The confetti that came out of the rafters had a large proportion of green and blue. No maroon. I suppose the events staff thought another team would have one shining moment.
Yes, the green/blue/yellow confetti was annoying - the other half (who wasn't at the game) suggested that perhaps it was intended to coordinate with the color scheme of the court, etc., but it wasn't anywhere near a match for that. I agree the staff got a little ahead of themselves.
I refer to that year as the time I roadtripped with the Aggies - Shreveport/Dallas/Indianapolis.
One of my favorite non-final four moments was standing in the will-call line outside the American Airlines Center in Dallas listening to the Baylor people behind me discuss what kind of clothing they would be packing for their trip to Indy - oops!
