One of my formative experiences as an M fan. I was 13 at the time and was absolutely, 100% convinced we'd win it all. That Coastal Carolina game ended up being the only easy win of the tourney. The rest were all nerve-wracking. I'll never forget how we shut up most of the country by beating Kentucky. But then the punch in the gut that followed. The UNC game is still one of my most painful memories. I remember the local news actually showing the national-championship t-shirt that they were going to sell if we won. Sigh. A couple weeks later my family was on vacation (to Myrtle Beach, coincidentally) right after, and I ran into a guy wearing the same national championship shirt, but with UNC on it of course. I wanted to shout, "That's OUR shirt!" Ah, the ’93 tourney. One of my formative experiences as an M fan. I was 13 at the time and was absolutely, 100% convinced we’d win it all.
