Hyde, that would have been one of the greatest basketball accomplishments ever if they had pulled it off.

It's a running joke with Kim and I that I am fervently convinced a 1 seed will lose to a 16 at some point. That and ETSU/Oklahoma where ETSU missed a winning shot at the buzzer both got my hopes up.

Responses:

it was just such a compelling game, storywise. i was a HUGE georgetown fan and had supported them all season long... - x, riding a unicorn of happiness over a rainbow Dec 8, 10:52 2
- I think if the 16 over a 1 is ever going to happen in the men's game, you'll need a 'gimmick' offense to do it. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 10:59 1
  - i'm with david, i think it's bound to happen eventually. especially now with the top teams being weaker....nm - x, riding a unicorn of happiness over a rainbow Dec 8, 11:02
If I remember right, Princeton had the final shot of that game too. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 10:46 3
- yeah, but georgetown had alonzo mourning and he sent two back in the last couple seconds...nm - x, riding a unicorn of happiness over a rainbow Dec 8, 10:56 1
  - Oh yeah, it was a fantastic ending. One of my favorites. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 10:58
- And that game was the beginning of my love affair with the NCAA's, first year I was in a pool and I had GTown. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 10:47
