Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament. I remember being back on the University of Illinois campus, post-spring break, making an executive decision to go play some pickup basketball after classes in the late afternoon. I ended up getting back during the second half of the USC-Kentucky game, shocked to see the Trojans controlling and winning the game. USC would be up 19 at the break before Kentucky rallied in the second half to lose by four points. Moving on, USC would actually give Duke a fairly competitive game during the Elite Eight. I liked this USC team of Sam Clancy, Jeff Trepagnier, Brian Scalabrine and company. As for Georgetown-Maryland, this was an unexpected Sweet Sixteen game, with the Hoyas taking advantage of playing #10 seed Hampton in the second round as opposed to #2 Iowa State. Maryland would win this regional rivalry game by 10 points and advance to the Elite Eight to take on and upset the #1 seed Stanford Cardinal.
