There were egos, and they were pretty big. Dale couldn't keep them in check.

The team was young, at least the big names were, but they really lost to some teams, like Auburn that year, that had absolutely no business being anywhere close to us.

So when it came time to seeding we had to play Ga. Tech in the second round instead of a 6 or 7 see like we should have been.

That was the biggest factor. You're down 1 with 10 seconds left against GA Tech in the NCAA Tournament and you have Chris Jackson, Shaq, and Stanley Roberts. So who takes the final shot? You guessed it--Maurice Williamson refused to give them the ball.

Incredible talent, bad coaching, bad fundamentals, missed free throws, choking big leads. It's no doubt Johnny Jones learned from the master.
