I remember they were scoring well over 100 nearly every game in Paul Westhead's fast paced shoot right way system.Lots n lots of threes.Gathers would have been a very good pro player with his size & skills.They beat defending champ Michigan 149-115 in the 2nd round.When Bama played them in the Sweet16 Wimp took the air out of the basketball using nearly the whole shot clock,combining that with his in your face defense with the athletes to keep up with them. Final score though was 62-60.I thought we passed up to many open scoring opportunities & it cost us. Can't believe it's been 30yrs ago.

Btw I remember Bo Kimble shooting all of his free throws one handed in honor of his fallen buddy.Seems like he made all of them.

UNLV had beaten the #12 seed in the Sweet Sixteen by just two freakin' points a few days earlier.
So you thought the #11 seed Loyola could really do this. They could make the Final Four. Everyone was believing it, there was something magical going on.
And then the real UNLV showed up and ruined the party and rolled everyone left for the title, including making Duke look like a WAC team.
