This, of course, is the game that Lee Mayberry sent into overtime with a 30-foot, three-point bomb with three seconds to play. This is also the game in which Nolan Richardson, infuriated over an intentional foul called on Mayberry, walked off the court and into the Arkansas locker room with 13 seconds left in regulation.

Nolan returned to the bench for overtime, launching a cascade of boos from Texas fans and outraging ABC color analyst Cheryl Miller to such an extent that it appeared she was on the verge of swallowing her tongue. I’m far from objective about the matter, but Miller called the game as if she were on the Longhorn payroll. I was hardly alone in that assessment. If the lunchtime chatter in the Little Rock Central High courtyard was any indication, Cheryl was the least popular woman in Arkansas that day.
