This week The College Basketball Nostalgic will be taking a deep dive into the 1997 NCAA Tournament, which brings back so many positive memories.
Here is what I have planned for this week's content.
Monday, August 22, 2016: Top Memories of the 1997 NCAA Tournament
Since I was a young kid, I have always been able to frame personal memories around major sporting events, with this especially being the case for the NCAA Tournament. For Monday's post, I am going to describe some memories that I have for each day of the 1997 NCAA Tournament. I guarantee that this will be a fun and entertaining post.
Tuesday, August 23, 2016: YouTube Review of the 1997 NCAA Tournament
Back in 1997, I was a freshman in high school. At the time I was hoping to record the entire 1997 NCAA Tournament. Unfortunately, I did not have any money to buy VHS tapes and thus only recorded the first two days of the tournament, which I later taped over with Chicago Bulls playoff games that spring.
With that history in mind, I will be utilizing YouTube to review different games from the 1997 NCAA Tournament. Unfortunately, there are not as many games from this tournament on YouTube as I would like, though there are enough interesting games to get started. For Tuesday's post, I am going to review what is on YouTube and also create a list of games that I would love to watch again from this tournament. Once I get to the 1999 NCAA Tournament, my game reviews will be more thorough as I recorded every game that was shown in Chicago that year.
Wednesday, August 24, 2016: Wednesday Watch of Coppin State Eagles versus South Carolina Gamecocks
This week's Wednesday Watch will review a somewhat forgotten game between No. 15 seed Coppin State and No. 2 seed South Carolina, an upset that occurred for just the third time since 1985 when the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams.
Thursday, August 25, 2016: Thursday Treasures of Fairfield Stags versus North Carolina Tar Heels
Never before in the NCAA Tournament has a No. 16 seed defeated a No. 1 seed. During the 1997 NCAA Tournament, such an upset almost occurred as Fairfield gave North Carolina all it can handle during a game that would be historic for other reasons.
Friday, August 26, 2016: Friday Foreshadowing of the First Round of the 1997 NCAA Tournament
As there are not that many first round games of the 1997 NCAA Tournament on YouTube, I plan to use Friday to review some of the box scores from the first round of games and note some interesting performances from players who would go on to star in future tournaments.
Saturday, August 27, 2016: Saturday Summary of The Week in College Basketball
On Saturday, I will review the week that was at The College Basketball Nostalgic and provide any major updates as to what happened in college basketball.
I thank you in advance for visiting The College Basketball Nostalgic and reading my takes on the tournament.
