Loyola is an amazing story, so I won't rehash it.
Kansas St going against the big ugly blue was story #2. Undersized, undermanned and disrespected they pull it off at crunch time. Their best player did not play, then so much foul trouble, they play the last few minutes, when they won the game, with five guards. To see the experience and athleticism and confidence of those much smaller, unheralded kids pull it off, was magic. When they spread the court, and that kid made the winning layup between and over very tall McDonald All-Americans was an all-time NCAA moment.
Loyola, K State and Nevada showed you do not have to be huge if you are athletic and quick and can shoot and play D.
