Because it was an awesome game.
Because “Heshimu means warrior!”
They didn’t. That was the year before. They lost to Michigan state in the regional final after beating Kansas in a great overtime game.

I was at the game. One of the best atmospheres I’ve ever seen at Rupp Arena. Ashley Judd posters given away at the hockey game later that night but we couldn’t get in.
They were a great team. Miss the old days, these things of the 90’s make me just ugh
We blew a big first half lead in that Michigan State game ... think we were up around 17 at one point
Seniors Turner, Evans, Padgett and two elite centers splitting minutes. I was a kid then, only 12, but looking back at the roster and the stats it looks like we were a high level shooting guard away from true title contender. Tubby's spotty recruiting was already showing as we have elite guys like Prince and Bradley, and Allison who was a very good player (hate how his story ended), but we fill the roster with dead weight like Hogan and Blevins and Tackett. I loved a lot of those Tubby teams but it always felt like we'd have some position where we just didn't have necessary talent to compete at the highest level.
