I am having trouble uploading this game onto YouTube thus I have included second-half footage from the great Keith Olenik. Stanford would get a scare from the Hawks, which included a freshman point guard by the name of Jameer Nelson, before holding on late. The Cardinal were upset the prior tournament as a #1 seed in the second round, that time by North Carolina. St. Joe's was led by Marvin O'Connor's 37 points on 15-for-20 from the field and 10-for-10 from the foul line! O'Connor's performance was so legendary that ESPN made a Sportscentury episode about the guard. If my memory serves me correct, Kentucky and Iowa met in the second round of the 1997 NCAA Tournament, with the Wildcats winning en route to the national title game, an overtime loss against Arizona.
