Despite losing in the first round of the NCAA tournament, this season brought more enjoyment and positives than the 2004-05 Sweet 16 run by Jay Jackson, Ronald Ross and company.
For those that graduated from Tech more than 10 years ago, the name Darryl Dora lives in infamy. For me, his three-pointer in double-overtime to beat then number-two ranked Kansas was the start to one of my favorite nights as a student. We rushed the court, we drank, and we skipped class the next day.
That win propelled Tech into a number six seed in the NCAA tournament and an opening round win against the 11 seeded UCLA bruins.
