And for UMass, that was was the first big year they had in forever, with Calipari putting them on the map and were like 30-5 or something, and that crowd was insane. I think I saw later that Ted Kennedy was at the game. Still, as underdogs it was a great game, Dave Johnson was scoring like crazy at the end. SU Down 1 in OT, the ball went out of bounds under the UMass basket with like 25 seconds in the game and 3 on the shot clock. The refs gave UMass the ball. They heaved it to their center, who hit the only 3 of his career to put them up 4, which pretty much sealed it. A few days later the NCAA put out a statement saying the out of bounds call was incorrect. Brutal loss. The bracket was stacked too, this was the region that led to the famous Laettener shot against UK the week later. [/QUOTE]
