In 1993, Roy Williams led the Kansas Jayhawks to the Final Four, where they would fall to Dean Smith's eventual champion Tar Heels. But the weekend before, Roy's curiosity was piqued by a scrappy young freshman guard from Cal-Berkley, who had helped lead the Golden Bears to a shocking upset of the Grant Hill-Bobby Hurley Duke Blue Devils before losing to the Jayhawks in the Sweet Sixteen.
