<div>Just the past few days I was reminiscing about this U of I basketball team...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the memories, Tom... I recall watching Monson's team in the Kibbie Dome that season...An exciting team to watch.</div>

<div>The <a title="1982 in sports" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_in_sports"><font color="#800080">1982</font></a> basketball team was the most successful in the school's history, and has yet to be surpassed. Building upon the success of the previous season, the Vandals won their first 16 games and went 24-2 in the regular season. They defeated
<a title="Gonzaga University" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzaga_University">Gonzaga</a>, all four <a title="Pacific Ten Conference" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ten_Conference">Pac-10</a> teams from the
<a title="Pacific Northwest" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest">Northwest</a>. They won the eight-team Far West Classic in <a title="Portland, Oregon" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland%2C_Oregon">
Portland</a> in late December <a title="1981 in sports" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_in_sports">1981</a>, winning all three games by at least 19 points (over <a title="Iowa State University" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_State_University">
Iowa State</a>, <a title="Oregon State University" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_State_University">Oregon State</a>, and <a title="University of Oregon" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Oregon">
Oregon</a>).</div>
<div>
<p>The Vandals' only setbacks during the regular season were consecutive two-point road losses in late January. The first was to rival <a title="University of Montana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Montana">
Montana</a> on a raucous Saturday night in <a title="Missoula, Montana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoula%2C_Montana">Missoula</a> on a tip-in at the buzzer. The second was to <a title="University of Notre Dame" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Notre_Dame">
Notre Dame</a> in <a title="South Bend, Indiana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Bend%2C_Indiana">South Bend</a> two days later, ending a three-games-in-four-nights road trip, which included multiple weather-related travel delays. The Vandals then reeled off eight straight victories to conclude the regular season, and won the four-team conference tournament, which they hosted for the second straight year as regular season champions.
</p>
<p>Their 26-2 record after the <a title="Big Sky Conference" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Sky_Conference">Big Sky</a> tournament (& ten straight victories) earned the Vandals a #8 national ranking and a #3 seed in the West region of the 48-team
<a title="1982 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_NCAA_Men%27s_Division_I_Basketball_Tournament">NCAA tournament</a>, which included a first round bye.</p>
<p>Idaho's first game (in the second round) was nearly a home game, conveniently played just eight miles west in <a title="Pullman, Washington" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullman%2C_Washington">Pullman, Washington
</a> on a Sunday afternoon. The opponent was 16th-ranked <a title="University of Iowa" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Iowa">Iowa</a> of the <a title="Big Ten Conference" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ten_Conference">
Big Ten</a>, the region's #6 seed, then coached by <a title="Lute Olson" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lute_Olson">Lute Olson</a>. Iowa, a Final Four team two years earlier, had won their first round game handily, but Idaho won this close game by two points, 69-67 in overtime, and advanced to the Sweet 16 at the West regional in
<a title="Provo, Utah" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provo%2C_Utah">Provo, Utah</a>.</p>
