would be quite a powerful combination .... though that team would have had a good chance to register even more significant wins the following weekend .... really could have cut the nets down at about 1130 pm on the Monday evening.

I was there that night down low at the end where JG missed. Without doubt it would have been my most epic in-person sporting event to date, ND or otherwise. And it would have been one of the greatest moments in NCAA tournament history. An absolutely incredible game even though it didn’t go our way.

The UCLA game, however — there are so many elements that make it such a timeless classic: the 88-game streak, Wooden, Walton, young Digger and a rising program, the fight-back from 70-59 and the flurry of missed UCLA shots at the end. Really, really tough to beat.
