Mike Nail’s final call from the 1994 NCAA basketball championship continues to bounce around in my mind.
"Arkansas completes a dream season!" Nail said as Clint McDaniel dribbled out a 76-72 victory over Duke.
Indeed, there can be nothing more dreamlike than what the Razorbacks did in Charlotte, N.C., at the ’94 Final Four. They rallied in the second half against Arizona and Duke to win the title.
Dreamlike is what most call the Oral Roberts run in the 2021 NCAA tournament — except not even its coach has dreamed past an appearance in the Sweet 16 against the Razorbacks on Saturday night.
