The best era hands down then it peaked and came crashing down to where we are today unfortunately! Actually it's been terrible for well over a decade, maybe two decades now but who's keeping track Lol
Yes sir - and I miss the days of Full Court Presses - wearing a point guard out physically before he even crosses half court - ((40 Minutes of Hell "Arkansas Razorbacks")) - dam I miss those days
@@gokhanguneysu3419 yes sir 👍🏾 Corliss Williams (Big Nasty), Corey Beck, Scottie Thurman were my guys - Came back in the 2nd half and took down Duke for the championship - but I still can't explain what happened that next year in the championship game when that freshman Toby Bailey came out of nowhere and hit 20 points for UCLA - I was in the 7th grade and I dam near cried that night - but those games in that era was just different - you always knew North Carolina, Kentucky, and Duke was going to be there - but teams like UNLV (Larry Johnson and those guys), Michigan, Arkansas and others would make their presence known also - those were the best days
@@gokhanguneysu3419 I would have loved to have seen that UNLV championship team play against the FAB 5 - but they missed each other by a few years - That UNLV team had all 5 staters get drafted also - Larry Johnson and Corliss Williams had the same type of style - they were my favorite 2 college basketball players - and Glenn Robinson for Purdue was my other guy
NVE was a top Point Guard at that time 91-92 circa to go first round in the 93 draft at 9th-10th overall. However his attitude caused him to drop into 2nd round especially with his encounter with coach George Karl
Nick the quick, Slick Nick , Nicky V was a bad man damn im 43 now I was 11 when this game was played but at the same time this is when I started rocking long ass shorts and black socks the beginning of a new era time flys
when the game's over and Michigan wins, the silence from the announcers is deafening. They barely said another word, as the establishment did not want these guys to win
Great highlights... 7 future NBA players in one game. (Michigan: Webber, Howard, King, Rose, Riley. Cincy: Van Exel, Blount) Close game, but rebounding (Mich 45 to 27) and poor 3pt shooting (6 for 22) doomed Cincinnati.
I miss basketball like this. Free flowing, passing the ball, using the post, teams using presses and traps... actual strategy. Now it's just endless high screen and rolls and three pointers. Boring.

@@christopherbrock8913 I was a huge fan of that great Arkansas team with Day & Mayberry.

Got to watch Nick the Quick play regularly at UC. What a treat to see him cook when he was the go to guy. He was amazing.
Van Exel was a beast at Cincinnati
One of my favs
Kobe said he used to kill him
His right okie year. Till he figured he could only go left lol
The Fab Five rocking the Huaraches.

Give credit to Jimmy King for balling out in this game, love me some Nick Van Excel. Great game.
This is so dope, thanks for these highlights!!!
Ahhhh man this was a damn good game I am watching this in 2024 just happen to run in to this damn they were balling
Nick the quick, Slick Nick , Nicky V was a bad man damn im 43 now I was 11 when this game was played but at the same time this is when I started rocking long ass shorts and black socks the beginning of a new era time flys
This was the game before the big game right here, van exel, Blount & Beaufort was no joke at Cincy. This was the best game of the the tournament
Yeah it really was a lot of back and forth Play. And words too
Fab were very entertaining.
when the game's over and Michigan wins, the silence from the announcers is deafening. They barely said another word, as the establishment did not want these guys to win
And this is why the duke game was stolen in the second half. NCAA wanted duke to win and they let them
R.I.P. Herb Jones...🙏🏽
Bearcats had to take it to the rack in the last 90"😔 RAD semi nonetheless. To this day they're my two favorite squads 🐾🖤❣️
Van Exel was a scoring machine
Buford euroing C-Webb like that in 92 was crazy 😂😂
voskuil was the difference.
Yea sparked it
This was so awesome for a 7th grader in SW Ohio
Hated when they had to play loved both teams
dope....keepin grindin...
Yeah, remember this.This was a great game

Those Cincinnati teams from that era looked like they lived in the weight room.
What might have been for us Bearcats if we had just kept this lead...
You would have gone to the national championship and got your a$$ beat like Michigan did.
This was a good game, 🗑talking was @ a premium with these two talented teams...
Uh-oh Fab Five, Cincy's got Nick Van Exel. He's going to challenge you on street cred.
❤❤❤❤
Duke Blue Devils forever
van Exel could play
Remember people used to chant, "Jalen can't read"
Back when eveything from sweet sixteen were big names. No middies or cindies hanging around 😂😂!!
Lebron James could neverhandle either teams.
hurry up fab 5 duke ready waiting
Nirk the quirk.
This didn’t show how good Nick was, tbh.

Facts! Basketball sucks now. Everybody just wants to jack up threes the whole game.
What a travesty Jimmy and Ray didn’t get NBA shots
More thugs in this game than an episode of Sopranos.
