An interesting tidbit that not many are aware of is...
Now I remember this very well, but I cannot offer 100% proof. But this is without a doubt very true.
That team should've easily won the National Championship, as they were truly head and shoulders above everyone else. But when you start talking about the undefeated season ahead of actually winning the championship. Bad things happen. Believe it or not, but those Rebels as they were heading to the Final Four to face Duke. Petitioned the NCAA to wear "Black Uniforms" for the "Title Game".
They did get the permission, and they were prepared to go out in a blaze of glory and surprise everyone taking the court in the black uniforms. Remember they were known as bad boys, and wanted to make a statement as the best ever team.
Low and behold they of course lost to Duke. Those boxed uniforms were never opened. And I have no idea what happened to them.
But I know the story to be true, even if it is denied.
Overconfidence did them in.
