I was sitting a few rows up to the right of the basket near the GT bench. My buddy kept making so many disparaging comments about them that I thought one of the GT fans was gonna strangle him by the end of the game. Good times.

That was the year I graduated from UC. Went down to the game that year with a coupke of friends. We were so wasted I don't remember much of the game.

I just watched the second half tonight. We got a lot of love from Nantz and Packer. Even they admitted it was men vs boys.

Bearcats were feared when they took the court back then.
Can't believe how young (thin and healthy) Bob looked.

Listen and look for the handsome yet drunk loudmouth right behind Nantz.

Yes at Rupp.
Win over GT was a great game and a great memory.
The next game #notsomuch.

That is what I thought but my memory fluctuates from time to time. We lost to Mississippi State in the next game, who had knocked off UCONN. I was there for all of those games, my first and only time at Rupp. My brother who was a UCONN Grad came out for the games.

I remember that game like it was yesterday....it was men vs boys. Billy Packer kept saying that "Gatech had not seen a team like UC in the ACC all year". We manhandled them. I really thought after that game we were going to make the final four...stupid Miss St. And it didn't help that D. Flint went 1-12 vs Miss st. I don't want to get started on that game...ugh.

Anyway, great game vs Gtech

I think UC fans were calling Rupp "The Shoe South" that tourney. Good times.

This was a great game and it makes me realize how big an Elite Eight might be for UC right about now.

Me too. I am typically a beer man but i snuck in a flask. I do remember ray allen from the early game and flint shutting the ga tech guards down.

Damon Flint single-handedly lost that game for us. He couldn't hit anything. If my memory serves me correctly he was something like 1 for 13 shooting. And this was coming off a great game two days earlier in which he led UC in scoring against Georgia Tech and helped shut down Stephon Marbury.

Bonus memory: After the buzzer sounded in the Georgia Tech game Melvin Levitt ran onto the floor and did a cartwheel into a flip right on center court.

RE: UC v GT 1996 NCAA Tourney is on right now on TWC channel 99
miss st game

Dontae Jones couldnt miss in the first half and was hitting ridiculous shots

Secomd half we got it close and were on a run and the miss st 2guard Bullard hit a 3 with no time on the shot clock, well guarded from waaaay down town....it was a desperation 3 for sure

it went in put the lead back to 6 or 7 and we never got closer if I remember

Me and my soon to be wife were at that game. We moved down to one of the sections that emptied out after the first game I think. Had great seat for the second half. Could not go to the next game was kind of glad not to go.

I was in high school and drove down with 3 of my best friends. I remember Keith Legree containing Marbury and an overall dominant offensive and defensive display shown by the Bearcats. Our seats were way up in the nosebleed section however we had a great time at that game, not so much at the next game.
