I've been told that guys like Kent Benson and Quinn Buckner have bottles of champagne on ice ready to pop anytime an undefeated cbb team loses late in the season. I got a a text last night describing this scene from an alum that graduated in the mid-90's:
"I was at a party last night with Buckner. Quinn drank quite a few cocktails during both games. He kept referencing a bottle of dom he was going to pop anytime UCLA would get close or take the lead. Last night when Suggs hit the 40-footer to win the game, Quinn opened a cabinet above his bar and grabbed a bottle of dom, opened his patio door and spiked the bottle of champagne in frustration on a paver patio shattering it into a million pieces. The party broke up shortly after the incident."
Kent and Quinn will get one more chance to pop their champagne on Monday....
