Also, anytime Duke loses in the tourney always puts a smile on my face. Least favorite moments - any time Duke wins.

The final 4 was in Indianapolis that year and we were sitting next to an IU fan who mentioned that he had tickets. My mom said "Why don't you sell us some of those?" and he replied smugly that "you won't need them". After Arkansas disposed of 'Bama, Kansas went on to handle Indiana easily and our Hoosier neighbor slipped out quietly. It was funny as hell for about 48 hours until Kansas did the same to us. My least favorite memory was going to the UNLV-Duke final the year before and I was psyched because every final since '83 had been nail-biters which pretty much encompassed my basketball watching life so I didn't think you could have a bad final. What ensued was quite a display but a pretty sorry game. I was at the Charlotte regional in ‘91 with Arkansas playing Bama and Kansas playing Indiana.
