The greatest, and not so greatest UofA moments i can remember ..

i can't tell you how many times, i will think of a university of arizona moment. and i have to google,
or search the internet. and you never seem to find an accounting for history on UA sports.
the greatest resource i have are a set of press guides for UA mens BB from early 1990s to about
2005. Those books contain memories that go all the way back to the first teams.
my memories are much more recent;

on the road,traveling -

climbing in the saguaro monument, finding a rock to perch on, while listening to jud and steve
dooowwwwwn ing the threes. on KNST.

khalid reeves, running the length of the floor with 5 seconds left, to beat Stanford. was it stanford?

i want to look, but this is a memory game. only what is in my memory.

how about that nasty, don mclean bouncing the ball off of bryan williams butt?
it was in mckale, and why was bw tying his shoes just then ? i hated ucla then.
tracy and don really are the only 2 players i can remember on that ucla team.

of course i was in perry oklahoma when the 88 ua team lose to the sooners in the ncaas.
at least i had the chance to watch.

how about, lying in bed at my grandmas, listening to the cats beat michigan in the preseason tournament ?
those are excellent memories!

tom tolbert, lumbering down the floor, late in a game, grabs a rebound, dribbles once, and goes up for the dunk.

chris mills. playing defense. shooting.

and the arizona bank commercials with Freider and Lute. i wish i had them recorded. so funny.

and the harvey mason 'wild about the cats' song . i swear i have that recorded on tape. can't find it.

the 97 championship, i have it on vhs.. the other championship they lost, have it on vhs.

in mckale -
my first game ever in mckale, the ua played cal . cal had a great guard who just came back from a
serious (knee?) injury. he attempted and made a 3 point shot. not thinking were i was, i applauded.
oops. that was some time in 89,90 or 91.

oh who was that big texan center we had? he left early, and he still plays. in russia last i heard.
he dunked the ball, and i am 12 rows behind the basket. i cheered. he looked right at me.

wilbur and wilma tossing t shirts to the crowd.

i was in mckale when undefeated ua lost to syracuse.

i went to see the cats play arkansas in fayetteville. in a preseason tournament. nice place. cats won.
