My vague memory is that they absolutely dominated us in overtime. So that's the part that I remembered.
We have the longest record of success with futility in the NCAA. Most tourney appearances without a final four.
I posted earlier that I think the only program that is better historically than us (via reputation and caliber) that is on the same list is Missouri.
Although Missouri seems to have lost much of its cred as a basketball school in recent years.

They dominated us in OT because we were worn out due to having no depth by the end of that season, and I think we had a couple of players fouled out. In general they had the upper hand through the game, but we still had a remarkably great chance to win the game in the final seconds of regulation but it didn't happen because of one missed FT. We fought hard, but it's pretty tough to beat a team of Florida's caliber with Logan Magnusson at center and a roster that without Davies really only went about 6 players deep.
