Then, two games in NIT... 80 points would give him 751. DECENT. Set season scoring record as a Frosh?

Interviewed afterwards, Jacobsen offered in prophecy:
"We don't get a chance to play a lot of East Coast teams,
and we wanted everyone out there to know what Stanford basketball was all about."
Duke went on to win the National Champ for 2001 vs ZONA. We were the #1 seed in the West, and fell to Maryland in the Regional Final.
Actually, Jason Williams missed a shot at the buzzer.

Thanks for sharing that clip - that drive up to the Newell Classic was the BEST trip to Oakland EVER. Had to chuckle as the last camera shot with Montgomery was of him shaking hands with (cue up that Frau Blücher background scream) then-Dook-asst, Dawkins. Taken together with CJ's quote about playing eastern teams and one has to admit we've been on a long strange, trip indeed.....
I somewhat agree. The ending was insanely exciting, and being there for it made it easy to think that I needn't bother attending more events in person since then because there's no way the experience could be any better.
I followed that up a year later, after the world had changed, with another trip to Oakland to see A's fans with their brooms in hand watch their team lose the first of three straight on their way out of the playoffs. Mussina pitched a gem, Posada homered, Jeter flipped the ball, Giambi didn't slide, and the Yankees won 1-0. If you haven't seen a 1-0 playoff win, I highly recommend it. Attending that baseball game had a similar effect. How could any other game in person live up to that one?
