Are you sure this game was in the NCAA tournament? I thought it was just a regular season game.

[CaptainAmerica2006]

Yes, 100%. Note at the beginning of the video it says "Second Round." This has been voted one of the greatest shots in NCAA tourney history.

That shot and call by Maguire made me a hoops fan for life

[golfdude2007]

to this day....I still Miss Al Maguire....and always will.....

[DarklordZagarna]

Still my vote for the greatest end-of-game announcer flip-out in the history of sports.

@CaptainAmerica2006 yep...a second round game...usc was the 2 seed and gt was the #7 seed

[HildebrandJohnson]

@jmw20watch Absolutely. I was there. I had to finesse a ticket from the basketball office at Tech and drove through a snow storm to get there. It was at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.  I was sitting not far below this camera.

@troutprof Kansas lost to UTEP in this regional too. It was nuts. Cincinnati ended up walking thru as a #4 seed.

This was a crazy regional, and the only time I've attended the tournament. Harold "Baby Jordan" Minor ran the floor right before this, sending every USC fan into high-five mode, the game over. One of the 1st round matchups was Akansas and Oliver Miller (plus Mayberry,et. al) vs. Popeye Jones and Murray St.-- had to be close to 600 lbs. in the post--smthg else. I think Arkansas lost to Penny Hardaway and Memphis, when Memphis actually was a mid-major. The whole weekend was a freakshow.

I was at the game with my Dad in 92'. I was in high school at the time and skipped school to go to the 1st round games on a Thursday. This was the second round games and I remember my Dad and I jumping up and down with the place going bonkers. In fact, almost all the games in Milwaukee that year were down to the wire. Eighteen years later I'm heading back to Milwaukee to see the games again with my Mom and Dad. Can't wait! Truly miss Al Maguire too! A legend.
