1998 NCAA Tournament

Round 1: #3 Stanford vs #12 College of Charleston

Arena: United Airlines Arena - Home of the Chicago Bulls

Impact: Stanford survived a first round upset and went on to the NCAA Final Four held in San Antonio, Texas. Is time for Stanford to return to San Antonio for another Final Four appearance?
