Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. This game still upsets me all these years later. I am not going to lie. As a huge Arizona fan at the time, I was overlooking Utah, which had barely gotten by #10 seed West Virginia in the Sweet Sixteen. Honestly, the Arizona Wildcats might have overlooked the Utes as well on this Saturday afternoon. Andre Miller had a triple double for Utah, and Arizona was down by as much as 20 points in the second half. This was a true shocker, one that left me upset for quite a few days. I remember going to my friend Sean's house after this game to hang out. I was quite mad when he said something to this effect: "Why do you care so much? Do you think those guys on the team would care if you got a B on a test?" While I didn't quite grasp what Sean was saying at the time, I know do. I was taking the loss too seriously. Still, this was a hard way to go out for Arizona seniors Miles Simon, Michael Dickerson and Bennett Davison. A repeat would not be in the cards for the Cardiac Cats of 1997. Note: I did not start recording full NCAA Tournaments until 1999; thus, my 1998 collection is sparse, with the exception of Arizona games and the Final Four. Also, I apologize for any tracking issues as these games were digitized from old VHS tapes.
