That UNLV championship team was the best college team of my lifetime, IMO. Unreal.

[Irish George]

the Larry Johnson team?

they dominated!

[Kelly Pat]

Dam we lost another one, I can still picture him chewin on that towel.

[McCarthy12]

Yup. Johnson, Greg Anthony, Stacy Augmon, Anderson Hunt. The '91 team that got upset by Duke was even better than the team that smoked Duke by 30 in the final the year before. So much fun to watch.

[McCarthy12]

Yup. There's a great documentary on HBO about Tark and UNLV basketball called "The Runnin' Rebels of UNLV." Check it out some time.

Jerry Tarkanian's greatest line: "The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky it will probably slap another two years probation on Cleveland State."

He was as beloved in Vegas as any coach in any city.
