Ron Artest played the entire first half as if he was terrified, medicated, or both. He shot airballs, looked shaky with the ball in his hands, as if some CYO kid was wearing his uniform. He picked it up a little in the second half but was not the dominant player he had been all tournament.

He looked to be having anxiety attacks. He was fine for the second half. His discomfort with being on the courts during the first half was very noticeable

I 've always thought it was because he thought he had to take over. In the second half we were back to Barkley running things and were much better. Just couldn't get over the hump.

The night before, Ron and other members of the team used their meal money to order room service from the hotel. The meal didn't go down well, and Ron got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom to throw up. Unfortunately, in trying to get to the bathroom in the dark, he tripped and fell over the bed, and hurt his foot. True story. I believe it was even mentioned on the broadcast.
Still though, the turning point of the game was the first shot we took, that Johnson blocked. It was a clear goaltend that went uncalled. That turned us into a jump-shooting team for most of the day. We had guys that could make jumpers, but it was not our game.
I was not shocked that we lost, though. 2 nights prior, I was rooting for Auburn to beat Ohio State, even though the Tigers were seeded #1 in the region. Just liked that matchup better.

Wasn't Ty Grant playing with either a soft cast or his hand bandaged. He was never the same that year after he got hurt

of all the losses as a sports fan none stings more than this game...absolutely brutal way to lose with Chudney bricking the FT with a chance to tie and then Erick dribbling the ball of his leg on back to back possessions to end the game.

I see I'm not the only one who remembers Ron having a dreadful first half, how out-of-sorts he looked, and how, as that half unfolded, he seemed to take it upon himself to compensate for his poor start -- forcing shots and not looking for his teammates -- which only made matters worse. It was hard to watch.

I remember after the game Jarvis bemoaned the fact that Anthony Glover was ineligible becuase he would have dunked all over that kid. Or something like that. Now Glover played very hard and was a good player for us but other than Billy Singleton, I would have to say Glover was blocked more times than any other SJU player since I have watched the team. If Glover were eligible Johnson might have set the world record for blocks.

i think the only ones who had good games for us were Bootsy and Lavor that day. Other than that everything that couldve went wrong did go wrong....

This ties into why he stopped several times to adjust his sneaker. I never heard about hurting his foot. Thanks for filling us in. Too bad...that was a final four team.

i think they ordered the room service before the Maryland game actually, it wasnt the Ohio State game.

Oh, that may have been the case, because he didn't have a great scoring game vs. Maryland either (though his all-around effort was good). Injury was much more noticeble against OSU. At least, that's how it appeared.

Can't forget Barkley's drive with seconds remaining and the Johnnies down by one. BTW, Ohio State's , Penn, bumped Barkley on his way to the basket. Of course no call.
