I had no idea what this thread was about, but the first sentence tipped me off.  Extremely sad.  Maybe a tad before I was into hoops hardcore though.  It also reminds me of Hank Gathers, and that AMAZING Loyola Marymount team(122.4ppg!), collapsing in the post season.  [url]http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/espn25/story?page=moments/62[/url]  People can mock their lack of defense, but that was one of the most entertaining teams I have ever been privileged enough to watch play, and this was long before SU fans were starved of the fast break.

What got me the most, and still chokes me up, was watching Bo Kimble shoot his first free throw of each game of the NCAA run to the regional finals left handed in honor of Hank.  He made all of them too.  I wonder if they still had Gathers if they couldn't have won the title, or if their run was mostly inspired by him.   In a sense no NBA team lost out directly like the Celtics did with Bias, but the NBA and fans(college and pro alike) certainly did.
