Sometimes you find cool stuff on unlabeled tapes, didn't remember this one being such a nail biter. 00:00 - Start 02:54 - 1st Half 37:08 - Halftime 46:48 - 2nd Half
Re-watching this confirmed my memory of this being probably the least enjoyable tournament win I've seen, probably second only to the Ohio s16 win the next year (where we saw how much lower the ceiling of this team was with no Marshall.) This game just felt like the absolute definition of "hang in there, hope the other team cools off, be ready make a play on defense." Just not fun at all, but still glad we won. 😅
That's my recollection of the '07 sweet sixteen win against USC too, gonna be interesting diving back in when I get around to uploading it. The second round win against Arkansas in '17 is probably the angriest I've ever been after a win.
