Of all the statistics, the most impressive had to be Loyola Marymount’s performance behind the arc. The Lions finished 21-40 from 3-point land. Senior Jeff Fryer set an NCAA Tournament record converting on 11 threes. He finished the game with 41 points.
With Fryer lighting it up from deep, Bo Kimble had a typical Bo Kimble-like performance in the paint scoring 37 points. The two Lions players combined to score more points (78) than 22 of the 32 teams that made it to the second round of the tournament.
The 264 points were the most in NCAA Tournament history, breaking the previous mark of 247 set in 1961 when St. Joseph’s (Pa.) beat Utah 127-120 in four overtimes.
Loyola Marymount won its Sweet 16 matchup against Alabama before falling in the Elite 8 to eventual national champion UNLV, 131-101.
The Lions’ NCAA Tournament run was over, but the team had made its mark with the fans, and more significantly, in the record books.
I watched all of their games in the tourney that year....their system of pure chaos was mind boggling and souch fun to watch....the Running Rebs were just so freaking awesome back then or they may have won it all.
 
We went to ON 3 straight times to try and get early fouls on Filipkowski...the irony is instead Uros goes nuts and makes 2 fouls
 
Commentator is dumb...we get FOUR timeouts...and only 2 can be carried over to H2. And we hardly ever use them all anyway. Take the possesion. Duke had the arrow

Mehdiocre offense...relies on defense.

Similar to UVA the other 1 seed to have lost

Yet to see an offensive minded 1 seed even have a scare. And yet the ole "defense travels" narrative lives. Maybe it does, but in March it just takes one team to hit a few extra shots against your great defense and you're sunk because you're sitting there with 58 pts...

Maybe just me, but it feels similar to football. Yes, great to have both offense and defense, but the last 5 champs have been top 8 in offense:

2022 - 4th
2021 - 8th
2020 - 2nd
2019 - 1st

Defense those same years:

2022 - 5th
2021 - 1st
2020 - 19th
2019 - 33rd

It's becoming the name of the game(s)
You still have to f'n have a good freakin defense man...jeez.
