While back to school this week, I was able to stay afloat and keep the site running relatively smoothly.
In case you missed anything this week, here's what I wrote.
Here is what I am planning for this week.
Monday, September 12, 2016: March Mad Men – Al McGuire
After watching the UCLA-Iowa State game called by Tim Ryan and McGuire, I want to share some of my favorite quotes from Coach Al, whom I have been enjoying listening to again while reviewing these past tournament games.
Tuesday, September 13, 2016: 1997 NCAA Tournament, Sweet Sixteen:
The Lost Games
I want to comment on the 1997 Sweet Sixteen games between Minnesota and Clemson and Utah and Stanford, overtime affairs that are unfortunately not on YouTube.
Wednesday, September 14, 2016: 1997 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, Midwest Region: UCLA vs. Minnesota
In the latest Wednesday Watch, I will break down this first Elite Eight game from the 1997 NCAA Tournament.
Thursday, September 15, 2016: 1997 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, Southeast Region: Providence vs. Arizona
The latest edition of Thursday Treasures will explore this unexpected Elite Eight clash that would need an extra five minutes to send a participant to the Final Four.
Friday, September 16, 2016: Friday Fifteen: God Shammgod
In my first edition of Friday Fifteen, I want to examine the 1997 NCAA Tournament performance and overall game of Providence point guard God Shammgod, one of the stars to emerge from the 1997 NCAA Tournament.
Saturday, September 17, 2016: Saturday Summary
I will include some links to the major stories in college basketball from the concluding week.
I am looking forward to another great week at The College Basketball Nostalgic.
In the meantime, please take a moment to remember the 15th anniversary of 9/11.
CNN has a great feature about the children who lost their parents on 9/11.
The first-person accounts are quite emotional and touching.
With all that said, have a safe and productive week.
In case you missed anything this week, here's what I wrote.
- On Labor Day, I introduced my first “Super Squads,” creating an all-NCAA Tournament team from 1997 to 2016 for the University of Arizona Wildcats.
- In the "Tuesday Turnover," I examined Arizona’s shocking upset of Kansas in the 1997 Sweet Sixteen.
- In the "Wednesday Watch," I reviewed a choppy Sweet Sixteen game between Louisville and Texas.
- In "Thursday Treasures," I revisited UCLA’s last second victory against Iowa State in the 1997 Sweet Sixteen.
- In the first edition of “Football Fridays,” I used the 1997 Sweet Sixteen game between North Carolina and California to examine the hooping skills of Tony Gonzalez.
- In the "Saturday Summary," I linked to Tom Izzo’s Hall of Fame speech from Friday night and included related videos of some his greatest NCAA Tournament moments at Michigan State.
