Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. I remember being home back in Chicago for spring break on the day of this first round game between Northwestern State and Illinois. I woke up late that morning, frantically turning on the television to see Illinois was out to a 10-0 lead. I popped in a VHS and began recording. The Illini would cruise comfortably, with most of the players sporting shaved heads in unison of a hopeful deep tournament run. After the Illini game, CBS switched over to Gonzaga and Virgina. The Bulldogs would pull the upset late as tourney hero Casey Calvary put back a Dan Dickau layup that was blocked off the glass. For the third straight season, Gonzaga would advance to the Sweet Sixteen! Note: I have included the beginning of Northwestern State-Illinois from the docsdaname2000 YouTube channel and the entire Gonzaga-Virginia game from Zags' Greatest Hits.
