That game and that team is always 100% ON topic for me. So many memories and I appreciate a periodic reminder to watch the end of the game. For those of us who witnessed it, it's a lifelong memory. For those who are younger/more recent fans: it won't mean as much to you, but this is a major event in Stanford sports history and worth a look.

Some things that stood out rewatching this:

• The confidence Art Lee had taking his free throws. Didn't have much arc on them but you knew that month that he wasn't going to miss. Really miss that swagger from him and the team.
  
• Tim Young calming Mad Dog down after the dunk. Such a contrast in personalities.
  
• Mad Dog's concentration and actually looking like he would make his free throw. brobdingnagian particularly given his weakness there.
  
• Kris Weems not quite having his normal confidence. He made the first free throw, but never looked comfortable there despite being 85% from the line.
  
• Harrick and his whining. He just kept going. The victory was slightly more sweet because he was on the other bench. Thanks again for the Collins Twins, BTW.
  

That was the front end of an amazing Men's Basketball run which started to change the perception that we couldn't be successful in major sports. Before we were occasionally ranked in Men's Basketball or Football, but rarely top 5 and those seasons were outliers. Without basketball having that run from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, would football have seen the possibilities to get where it is now? Hope that also works in reverse and basketball gets back to the glory days faster.
