Old memories for Coach Hardaway were brightened, at least a little, when the Tigers take down the Bearcats...I mean the Mountaineers...against an old foe in Bobby Huggins 71-66, rebounding and defense kept the Tigers in the game in the first half and a surprising 78% from the line won the game late.

Sweet Sixteen BABY! Memphis Tigers vs #1 seed Illinois. One shining moment goes our way for a change. 67% from 3 and a smothering defense, especially by Quinones on Dosunmu, give the Tigers the biggest upset so far 92-88.

Its not UCLA or Duke or Kentucky who the Tigers are pitted against in the final four, but the G#$%#d*^%mn Houston Cougars. But Memphis seems to be unstoppable. Sampson has to watch the game from the locker room after 2 technicals as Quinones once again locks down their opponents biggest threat. Memphis 58 Houston 52

We're back, the NCAA finals, Memphis 4th final four appearance and 3rd finals. It don't even matter who we play now, but we got Alabama and we can't seem to do anything right. Halftime score Alabama 36, Memphis 22. Its ugly, but Alabama has a little foul trouble, our defense never stops and the 3 ball starts falling. Down by 4 with 1:23 to go, Cisse breaks away for a slam off a pass by Williams. 67-65. Alabama gets a long rebound and clanks a wide open 3. Tiger ball 1:01. Lomax dribbles into the paint trying to get an alley oop to Williams, but has to dish it out for a corner 3 by D J Jefferies.. 68-67 Tigers. Alabama gets fouled on a drive and goes to the line for 2 shots. 68-68. Second free throw misses, rebounded by Quinones, ahead to Alo who dribbles in, fakes the pass and hits the 5 foot jumper. 70-68, 0:21 Boogies steals the inbound, shuffles it out to Quinones for Threeeeeeeeeeeeee. 73-68. Alabama hits a three as time runs out. TIGERS WIN 73-71.
