I’m just honored to be able to still remember it. That play was in my opinion the most memorable play in the history of Niner basketball, edging out Diego’s 3 pointer against the holes and Plavich’s half point shot against IU. Kinch’s shot was not the game-winner, but it sure stopped Michigan in their tracks and took the remaining wind out of their sail in what is beyond a doubt the biggest win in our program’s history.

Easy, since I was there and will NEVER forget the awesome week of joy leading up to the FF 
and the abject sadness of losing to marquette the way we did. >:(
