A Feast of Leftovers
REACTIONS
This one is a little too close to home. The guy on the left is Matt Norlander, who covers college hoops for CBS Sports. Sadly, what he does is way too similar to what happens at my house. I miss half of what's going on because my head is down typing. Thank goodness for rewind. I put my laptop down for the last few minutes of this one. Glad I was able to take it all in.
That's Bill Raftery and Grant Hill, speechless. Raftery has literally seen it all, and he can't speak for 14 seconds (which is what he's being paid to do!). Hill threw the famous pass to Laettner for the big shot in 1992.

I still think Duke-UK in 1992 was the greatest game ever played. Duke had Laettner, the player of the year who was about to become a member of the Dream Team; Bobby Hurley, whose assist record stood until last week; Grant Hill, who would himself win national player of the year in 1994; Cherokee Parks, who played in the NBA for nine seasons; and Erik Meek, who no one remembers but was better than every Kentucky player but one.
Kentucky had Jamal Mashburn, an excellent college player who would be named All-American the next season; three dudes from Kentucky and Sean Woods. That team took defending national champion to overtime. It took The Shot to beat them. I've seen that damned shot too many times. Let's take a look at the shot before the shot, the one that convinced a state that our team was back. (It's at 1:40)
