DESTINY IN BLUE AND GOLD
They made it past 0 for 8 from the field to start the game. They clawed back from a 17 point deficit with a couple of minutes left before half. They made it despite Lavinesque relapses in ball-handling and defense. They made it past ticky tack officiating which practically escorted Adam (Wayne's World) Morrison to the hoop. They made it past their best player saddled
with his fourth foul five minutes into the second half. Above all, they made it, and live to fight another game, a rematch with a team that bested them earlier in the year. Get past Memphis and now there's no Duke awaiting in the final four.
LOST had his chances earlier in the Season, when informed that Caliente had posted UCLA a 30-1 shot to win the NCAA's. That would have been a wise expenditure of 50 bucks, or so it would seem now. Can anything stop them? No, there's nothing. GO BRUINS!!!!!!
Oh, and take heart, CAMOON, my friend, your Huskies are still in it, too. Look for them to give UCONN all they want . . . and more. GO PAC 10!!!!!!!!!!!!! How d'ya like us now, Dickie V (nimrod) ?

basketball is a karmic sport. Bill Walton was in the crowd, cheering on his alma mater. The same Bill Walton who helplessly saw his own Bruin team give up the last 11 points to another Catholic school, to end the fabled Bruin 88 game win streak in 1974. This one was definitely for you Bonespur Bill!
Great teams do dig down deep and pull out the truly amazing. The last time the Bruins won it all, it took a 5'11" point guard to dribble length of the court in less than five seconds and sink a layup over a grove of Missouri trees. Tyus Edney, this game was a tribute to you, too!
In a lot of years watching Bruin basketball, have never seen any team play this good at defense, and I have never seen a comeback like this one. The only one that comes close is Coach Wooden's last run, the semi-final against Louisville where the Bruins had a lead only at the end.
