Sometime in the first half this afternoon, Bo Kimble, the star forward for Loyola Marymount, looked at the faces of each of the Michigan players on the court and saw, he said later, ''a look of confusion.''
''Everything hit them so fast, they couldn't get their bearings,'' Kimble recalled.
The everything that Kimble referred to was this: the Lions' full-court trapping defense, their fast break, their quick shots, their ''bombs-away'' shooting scheme, as described by the Loyola coach, Paul Westhead, and their all-out, non-stop passion to hound down the basketball and fill up the hoop with it.
And fill it they did, beating Michigan, the defending National Collegiate Athletic Association champion, 149-115, in the second round of the West Regional at the Long Beach Arena, before a full house of 12,000 fans, many of them rooting for Loyola Marymount, whose campus is in nearby Los Angeles. The Lions (25-5) advanced to the round of 16 in the national collegiate tournament, and will play a regional semifinal game Friday in Oakland, Calif., against Alabama, which upset Arizona, 77-55.

I remember taking under 195 against the running rebels and the fuckers totalled like 231 or 234 points.
FML it was like everthing went in like it had eyes. It was the most unbelievable thing i had seen up to that time. I think they scored 100 every game but 1 or 2.
