So, was the assumed difficulty that the contestants would be unfamiliar with Tim and Chris or unfamiliar with WF?
Point: our sports information department has some work to do, maybe?

I would have answered that correctly for half that amount of money.

It's a combination, obviously, but much more of the latter.

I think Clark Kellog also went to Lake Forrest.
So did Clark Griswold.

Had Rutland not blown out his knee in the ACCT.... 
The Final 4 would have been ours to lose.

Wake became a very different (worse) team once Rutland's knee went.
The conventional wisdom was that you needed three future NBA players to have a decent shot at the title. Once Rutland went down, Wake didn't have that level of talent.

I thought someone was doing someone else's girlfriend and chemistry fell apart.

IIRC, we had 3 NBA players with Duncan, Larue and Rutland. Rutland was abusing Stephon Marbury.
Once Rutland got hurt, Marbury scored a few meaningless buckets.
Rutland showed how good he was on Senior Day after a lackluster post-injury senior year.
Larue actually did a nice job moving over to PG, but he kind of looked like JJ Redick trying to play point. To his credit, he was a credible backup PG for the Jazz and in today's NBA, he would find a roster spot.
Ultimately, we did what we do, lost to Kentucky.
The Big Country game with Childress, then the Rutland/Duncan/Larue years were our "shot." And shit WF luck got us both years.
