04 was the the season that broke my heart. Logan was a monster that year. We got the unlucky task of playing a underseeded UCLA team. We lost in double ot. stokes dropped 30 something but Logan was shut down. I think Matt Barnes was on that team and every player was 6'7" or taller.

I cant watch that game. I went to every tourney game the year before (Final Four year). The yr we lost to North Car we drove to Syracuse for the 1st round. We were die hards. We would have won this game if Huggs would have called a TO when NC went on that big run. I think he finally called it when they tied the game, but it was like an 11-0 run. He didn't want to allow Dean Smith time to set things up. If we would have won that game we would really, really have been rolling. None of us thought we would never make it back. That's why I (try to) enjoy our wins so much. Out of all the things while Huggs was here, there were 2 things that stopped us from becoming a true permanent power: this loss and Huggs being impatient / hating to lose so much that he kept recruiting junior college PG's. I really think if he would have got some freshmen guards, suffer thru some losses, by the time they were Jr, Sr we would have been unstoppable. Most years we were missing a PG. Man, we were sooooooooooo close to breaking that glass ceiling. Last edited by ZCat; 02-22-2017 at 09:35 PM. |

Yeah, darn underachieving UCLA had to choose this day to finally put it together. Jason Kapono was also on that team.

I went to the regional final in 1996 against Miss St at Rupp arena. We got tickets from Georgia Tech fans who we beat us on Friday. We had great seats 10 rows up center court. Knocked a hat off a Kentucky fan with my Bearcat flag. The fan was being an ******* the whole game. We had to evade security on the way out.
