Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. I am not going to lie. I did not learn my lesson from the Elite Eight game against Arizona, once again giving Utah no shot against a North Carolina team with Antawn Jamison, Vince Carter and Shammond Williams. To my surprise, Utah played another great game. While not as dominant as against the Wildcats, the Utes led this game pretty comfortably by double digits from what I can remember. By the end of this "upset," I had to give Utah it's fair due. This team could play, as evident by beating Arizona and North Carolina, which would have been a Final Four rematch from 1997. Ultimately, the 1998 NCAA Tournament was when my 16-year-old self realized that Rick Majerus was a fantastic coach. Overall, this was a darn good Utah team with future pros in Andre Miller, Michael Doleac and Hanno Mottola.
