Afterward, driving home the streets were packed with people partying and I remember hanging out the window of our car high-fiving random strangers as we drove by. What an awesome night.

@politicalbeast195910 жыл бұрын
The '91 game was a semi-final, not the championship game. Not sure why the Committee put UNLV and Duke on the same side, thus meaning that they'd meet in the semi-final rather than the final, but they did. The result was one of the greatest college basketball games ever played. After getting clobbered by this same team the prior season, it was oh so sweet for Duke to edge that great undefeated team.

I remember the blue blood programs wanted nothing to do with UNLV back then. College basketball scheduling was more flexible than college football. I heard Tarkanian tried scheduling against any of the major programs and even offered to play on their home court, but not many excepted. Arkansas was one of the exceptions and UNLV beat them by 7, but the game was more lopsided than the score indicated. The Runnin' Rebels were scary good and the rest of the college basketball world knew it.

And never forget - UNLV's 103-73 win over Duke marked the first, (and to date, only), time in the history of the tournament that at least 100 points were scored in the championship game. UNLV’s 571 points over six games set the record for most points scored by a single team in any one year of the tournament. UNLV is the only team in tournament history to average more than 90 points per game - 95.1. In six tournament games, they won three by exactly 30 points, while scoring more than 100 points in each 30-point victory. UNLV’s 30-point margin of victory in the championship game is also a tournament record. To date, UNLV remains the last team from a non-power conference (AAC, ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC) to win the national championship; and the only one since 1977. The championship game was UNLV’s eleventh-consecutive win. They would eventually run the win streak to an astounding 45 games. That is the fourth-longest win streak in NCAA Division 1 basketball history, and the longest win streak since the longest one ever (by UCLA) ended in 1974.

unlv is the only college basketball team i've ever rooted for long term. their games were on here in l a. in the mid 80s on channel 9 with chick hearn calling them from las vegas. at halftime, he'd bring on someone from one of the hotels in town to talk about the place while some video of it ran. i wondered even then if that was legal for them to do, as if you could gamble at whatever hotel chick's guest worked for, it'd be a soft approval of gambling at a time when there was still a huge taboo against it outside of vegas and anywhere near college sports. well usc and ucla were hardly ever on tv, so i became a runnin reb fan for life. (although i did get into loyola marymount at thus time too, as they were like unlv on steroids; rest well hank) such an easy team to like. high scoring. ran a lot. cute cheerleaders. a cool mascot. the indiana loss at the superdome (97-93; don't even have to look it up) was my first sports heartbreak, but this night was the payoff for what was, at the time, about 4-5 years of fandom. i had to work late this night, then take a couple of friends home, but got home to watch the last 5:00 or so. 1900 and 1991 unlv is still the best college ball teams i've ever seen. such a fun team and time. right before he died, pasadena city college out here did a nice ceremony on campus for tark and i think unveiled some kind of tribute to him there (statue, plaque; i forget what). PCC is like 15 minutes from where i work, and i thought about going, but didn't. tark was in a wheelchair i think by that time, and i just didn't want to see him like that. when i watch the rebs today (and i still do) to a degree, i see this era and this game, and that's not good. unlv's been "meh" for so long now. noone (players, coaches, admin.) seems to want to stay there. how hard can it be to recruit 18 and 19 year old guys to come to las vegas? but when they're on these days, and the rebs are at .500 and may or nay not be winning in front if 5,000 at the t &m my mind always wanders back to nights like this. good good times.
