Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. I remember waking up late on this Saturday morning, rushing to my VCR to pop in a tape and record the Indiana - St. John's game, which had already started. St. John's controlled this game at the Orlando Arena, where the Magic played. I really liked this St. John's team with Ron Artest, Erick Barkley, Lavar Postell and Bootsy Thornton. In fact, I was so excited when the Chicago Bulls drafted Artest with the 16th pick of the 1999 NBA Draft. Along with #1 overall pick Elton Brand, the Bulls seemed to have a promising young core, or at least I thought at the time. As for Indiana, Head Coach Bob Knight scared the hell out of me as a kid, though it was clear to high-school me that the Hoosiers were no longer a great program at this point in time. I remember watching the first half of New Mexico and UCONN, which was way more competitive than I expected. My cousin Brian then called me up to play basketball at his friend's house so I left and did that the rest of the afternoon. Afterward, Brian came over to my house and we watched the rest of the second round games, including Florida vs. Weber State in the nightcap. Life surely was a ball back then. :-)
