This Day in NCAA Tournament History (3/25)

Morris Peterson and Mateen Cleaves led the Spartans to a tough win over Iowa State to get to the Final Four which eventually led to the 2000 NCAA title. Looking at the 2000 bracket, this really was the national title game since they were the two best teams left in the tournament. They were the only two programs higher than a 3 seed that made it to the final 8 and the other 3 number 1 seeds lost in the second round. This game of course is the "Larry Eustachy" meltdown game which after learning of his battle with alcohol made more sense how he could have lost it.
