03/17/1990 NCAA West Regional 2nd Round: #8 Ohio State Buckeyes vs. #1 UNLV Runnin' Rebels 

In a way the 1991 Duke semifinal was a repeat of the 1990 Georgia semifinal. In that game Larry Johnson fouled out but Butler and Scurry helped hold the fort down the stretch. Depth comes down to quality, not quantity. Scurry was the only impact player off the bench for UNLV in 1990 but that's all they needed.

Would have loved to see them against 96 Kentucky

Don't forget that guard from Europe. He backed up Anthony at a high level

Nothing like responding to a four year old comment. Those Buckeye teams where so damn frustrating though because they where so talented. Baker and Brown each where very talented, but once a game each would go off script for a few minutes and either force stupid shots or turnovers. Then Carter and Treg Lee both big bodied forces in the paint, couldnt hit a free throw to save their lives.

Yep and let's not forget next year when they whipped the fab 5 twice in the regular season only to choke away a shot at the final 4. Never forget Jent missing that 5 footer to win it at the end of regulation

The big ten was no joke back then. 88 thru 92 two big ten teams in the final four

yes because who wants to choose between four games when there is only one. dope

SocialAssasin lol. Nice.......

He was treated just as underminingly lousy as Jim Valvano was at NC State!

I loved when Tark won the national championship so he could use that trophy to throw serious shade at anyone who tried or had tried crossing him! It was poetic justice! No only that, but those same crossers had to watch the greatest team in the 39 years I've been watching college basketball throw egg in their collective faces with every dominating win! The NCAA has always been at it's hypocritical best when it involves the blame game! And the one time I thought they'd do their appropriate job they proved their ultimate in crooked when they let the Tar Holes off the hook from the academic cheating scandal! It was the definition of favoritism and partiality

I'm a die-hard Duke fan and that night - April 2nd, 1990 - was the worst case of whiplash I ever suffered watching a game (my senior year of HS)! 1990 UNLV was the best one-season national champion in the history of the tournament! Their performance would have beaten any team from any era! It was the definition of a clinic

That 90 team is best ever it's a dam shame the got rid of tark he never had the top recruits in country until he won national championship an the 92 went 28 an 2 but was banned from post season had they not fired him he had the O'Bannon brothers who won a national championship an UCLA a couple years later .I watched a recent interview with his son said had they keep him he believed with the top recruits coming to unlv his dad would have coached til at least 2005 an coulda won 6 plus more titles said as much as he loved unlv he believed he would have coached till he was a 80 an then. Itwoulda rightful been turned over to tim gurgirich who was the man that trained them great teams only silver lining is only violations that were ever proved were a couple unpaid long distance calls which both together totaled less than a dollar.nuthin else was ever proved an the ncca had to pay Jerry tark 1,5 million dollars as punitive damage

Well at least a tougher game than Duke or Loyola did......3rd toughest game behind #2) GT in the FF4 and 1) Ball state in the next game UNLV would play.

Different perspectives. Tark always had a cloud over him. Knight just intimidated the refs to win games. You can just get that level of coach to do that only Duke has something similar in Coach K.

@@WUDAT Knight intimidated the refs to win games, my gosh you are an ignorant sort of fellow, aren't you? This is the coach - Knight - who got screwed out of at least one national title (1992) by the refs alone (Teddy Valentine).
