Tell me about the 1998 Utah Utes

So in the stream of random statistics during last night's game, I saw the Utah Utes made the title game, had a lead on Kentucky and lost. What the heck? I read the wikipedia, but tell me more. Do you have a personal story about that game? Are you a Utes fan? I want to know what it was like following that team. This is from morbid curiousity more than anything. I wasn't a big college basketball fan till like 2002 or 2003 so I have no recollection of this (plus I was too young at the time).
