FlashBack to Twenty Five Years Ago

I was sitting with a group so guys, including a former coach from the University of Houston, watching the Cougars basketball game in the finals of the NCAA tournament. The team known as Phi Slamma Jamma was the superior team on the floor, and they had a nice lead on North Carolina State. But they could not hit free throws down the stretch in that game and a freak shot cost them the game and the humiliation of having lost in such a monumental way.

That is what I thought of as I watched the championship game last night, seeing the Memphis Tigers play the role of the Cougars and Kansas in the place of NC State!
