As always, the National Championship game ends with the playing of "One Shining Moment". A salute to the champions -- the Western Leathernecks!

He's continuing this thing, just fyi.
A few years further down the road and he's gotten us back into the Sweet 16 and are undefeated on the season. He's streaming the sweet 16 game on Twitch tonight at 7:30 PM:

In the Sweet 16 round, #1 seed WIU took down #5 seed Kansas, 97-67.
Then in the Elite Eight round, matched up with #2 seed Florida and came away with a nailbiter victory, 96-93.
The Leathernecks are 35-0 on the season heading into the last "weekend".

He'll be livestreaming the Final Four matchup with fellow #1 seed Michigan State at 7:30 PM (central) this Saturday. If Western wins, they will take on the winner of Louisville/Villanova in the national championship game immediately following.

Western Illinois vs. Gonzaga, College Hoops 2K8, round of 32, 2020.

Here is a trivia question that is tough to answer.

What Final Four head coaches and/or team players set foot on the court inside Western Hall during their careers?

Scott Drew would be one. Al McGuire might be another.

Can the Leathernecks repeat as national champions in our College Hoops 2K8 sim.
