You guys remember having Denis and Jake on the court at the same time? If not, it was either peak WildWildCat bb fun, or second to last year.
Denis + Jake was a close second to last year.
Denis + Jake is still my favorite. That team was amazing. I will always be convinced the double OT game wore our ass out for Butler. I think we would have beat Butler and gone on to win the NC.
Right there with you.
Physically and emotionally exhaustedr, and had to play the late game against Xavier, as well (just as we did last year and in 88 against Purdue).
I remember watching eventual champion Duke play that year before the tournament and my bro and I agreeing they weren't tough enough to play with the Cats. Truly, the junkyard Cats would have mopped them.
