Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. After watching Utah knock off Arizona and North Carolina, I begrudgingly accepted the Utes, which were up 10 points at one point either late in the first half or early in the second half against Kentucky. Unfortunately, Utah would not be able to hold on as Kentucky would get great play from Jeff Sheppard, Scott Padgett and Wayne Turner, a very underrated point guard, to win its second title in three games. On this championship Monday, I remember betting a kid at my high school five bucks that Utah would win against Kentucky. I was convinced Utah was a team of destiny, but Kentucky would prove to be destiny's darling, winning an unlikely championship during Head Coach Tubby Smith's first season.
