Editor’s note: The following story first appeared in the April 1, 1997 edition of the Arizona Daily Star.
INDIANAPOLIS — Donnell Harris had gotten used to the pressure of the NCAA Tournament a week ago in an overtime game against Providence.“I missed a few free throws,” he said, “but I thought I was there for us on the boards. I thought I did my job well in helping break the press. I was loving it out there.”
Harris finished with seven rebounds and eight points, and probably more importantly, did not have a turnover. Arizona spends about 20 to 30 minutes a day in practice against pressure offense and pressure defensive situations. The record, 87, was established by Princeton’s Bill Bradley in 1965, although one of those games was in the consolation bracket. UCLA’s Gail Goodrich has the record for scoring for a team that reached the championship game. The Bruins guard scored 70 in 1965.
The others: North Carolina defeated Kansas in three overtimes in 1957; Utah beat Dartmouth in 1944; Cincinnati beat Ohio State in 1961; and Loyola of Chicago beat Cincinnati in 1963. But three national champions had more losses than the Wildcats: the 27-11, sixth-seeded Kansas team of 1988; the 26-10, sixth-seeded North Carolina State team of 1983; and the 25-10, eighth-seeded Villanova team of 1985.
