The NCAA YouTube channel added this game a couple of months ago. I didn’t get to watch it live, since I was 14 at the time and on punishment. 
Especially fun to watch knowing this is no longer our most recent tournament win. Enjoy!

Oh I watched it live in Oxford. Sunday afternoon. CBS had their satellite truck Uptown by Monday night, around when Wally, Shannon, and Mike Esminger were walking into the main ring at WWF Raw at Riverfront Coliseum
Ohh, fantastic. Been looking for this game for forever. Road-tripped to NOLA for the first two rounds. What a weekend!

WCW Monday Nitro.
Was the game really that much slower back then, or was that just Coles’ plodding offense?
I found this feed from the preshow on youtube. Wally comes out and addresses the crowd at the 35 minute mark…
YouTube really does have everything
I love that Wally sported a Charlie Coles mock turtleneck for the appearance.
Even back then they called us the university of Miami
I don’t know if anyone noticed, but in the score feed at the bottom, SW Missouri State was beating Tennessee, and SW MO was led by former Miami player Danny Moore.
