Video: UNO/BYU (1987)

The last few minutes of UNO's NCAA Tournament victory over BYU in Birmingham, Alabama in 1987. Video begins with score tied at 72. Eventually we will see about getting the game uploaded in its entirety.

UNO 5, Tulane 4

After falling behind early 3-0, the Privateers put up a five-run second inning and made it stand up, hanging on for a 5-4 triumph over Tulane at Turchin Stadium.  Relieving Stephen Potter, Blake Prest threw three scoreless innings in relief, and Stone Speer went the rest of the way with five quality innings to close it out. UNO is next in action at Grambling for a three-game series over the weekend.

Video: UNO makes '87 NCAAs

1987, a time when conference tournaments were still ongoing while CBS went live with the selection show, when 11 seeds hosted games, when there was a Southeast Regional, and when an independent UNO Privateers team could get a 7 seed. Here is the unveiling of the Southeast Regional plus a bit of UNO discussion between Jim Nantz and Brent Musberger.

UNO vs. McNeese videos; game winning double, rain delay hijinks

SATURDAY, March 9 -- Morgan Barger's two-out double in the ninth put UNO ahead to stay, 8-7. The video loses focus about halfway through, but still worth a look.

SUNDAY, March 10 -- The game was rained out, but not before the Privateers and Cowboys staged a rain delay hijinks war at Cowboy Diamond. Includes tarp baseball, tarp football, tarp bowling, tarp jousting, and more.

Video: UNO on Sportscenter (1993)

Not just on Sportscenter, but The Big Show -- Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick at the height of their ESPN heydays. And not just on The Big Show, but leading off the broadcast. It's true. UNO was once the top story for beating Western Kentucky in double OT in a February game. This was not Olbermann's best highlight narration, but hey, it was just a Sansabelt Conference game.
