Beat me to it Faux. Gotta check on the site more frequently I guess. I've seen Glen Rice ball, now I want to see Glen ball with Sarah.

So...I've stared at my comment above for 30 seconds deciding if it is too juvenile to post but realized the moral and ethical standards of this Board. So...it stands.

What a season he had, but it’s also funny that he was shooting from the same 3 point line as 7th grade boys and girls, and I don’t remember anybody shooting long 3’s back then.

Thanks for the video!

I LOVED that team and season.  The beat down they gave UVA and the vaunted Bryant Stith. Without checking the box score, I am near 100% certain that Rice scored 32 and Higgins had 31 that game. And then to finally beat Illinois after losing to them twice during the regular season. 
 

Where I grew up, they were on TV somewhere between 12-15 times that season. I kept stats for those games on a notepad and then transferred them to some rudimentary program on my Apple II+. I think the printout is in a box somewhere in my mom’s house.

The first three of the video looks like the one that put Michigsn up 5 against UNC with a bit less than one minute remaining. That was the moment for me personally where I was like shit, Michigan could go to the Final Four. That Michigan team obviously had a lot of talent but they finished third in the conference, so there were a lot of what-ifs before the tourney started. And then Frieder did something hilariously foolish and Bo responded with something hilariously Bo. And then Fisher turned Rice loose on the world in a way that seems obvious now. Quite a three week period, capped off by a Grateful Dead concert.

IIRC, there was a minor kerfuffle over students going apeshit on South U after the championship.  The University president at the time tried to argue that it wasn't students and the U shouldn't have to pay for the property damage, comically suggesting that it was deadheads who were rioting instead.
