Editor’s note: The following story first appeared in the April 1, 1997 edition of the Arizona Daily Star.
What writers around the country are saying about Arizona’s victory over Kentucky:
It plays a marvelous overtime title game with the defending champion, and it forces the team that runs everybody out of gas to run out of gas itself. It beats everybody else at everybody else’s game. The country will forget about Olson’s early exits now. But it will never forget about this tournament.The Charlotte Observer: The players had no legacy, no reputation, no doubts. Arizona doesn’t start or play any upperclassmen. You know when we should have known the Wildcats had a great chance to win? It was seconds before the championship game began.
That’s what we should remember about this college basketball season. That’s the message that emanated from this latest Final Four. That’s what transpired last night as Indianapolis’ RCA Dome when Arizona’s Wildcats ended Kentucky’s reign as college basketball’s regional champions, upsetting Kentucky’s Wildcats 84-79 in overtime.
Newport News Daily Press: History has not been kind to royalty. The original Boston Patriots tossed King George II’s tea into the harbor. The French lopped off Marie Antoinette’s noggin. Prince Charles dissed Princess Di.
