In my lifetime, the Monty era constituted the glory days. Not the perfect days, but glory days nonetheless. For every anguishing event like the game on March 20, 2004 (the only time I've had a sports-induced migraine on my birthday), there were more many more moments like Robinson's/Lottich's miracle shots versus UA/WSU, beating Duke, beating Kansas, making the Final Four, and so on.

Oh that victory over #1 (i think) Duke brings back such memories (actually I think that happened twice? too lazy to look it up). Anyway, the turning point of that game was Nate James going up for a dunk and getting completely rejected by a Stanford guy who appeared out of nowhere. The announcers initially called it as a rejection by one of the Collins twins. And then on the replay, they were like, "Wait, that was LITTLE Julius Barnes!!!" Julius went on to lead us to a brobdingnagian come-from-a-ton-behind victory.

Ahh, Julius, I loved that guy.
