Sweet 16 is packed with good teams

— -- We'll always have Ron Hunter.

We'll always have his son, R.J. Hunter, swiping a Baylor inbounds pass in stride, streaking to the rim, slicing into the Bears' lead, unnerving a team that seemed headed for certain victory. We'll always have the image: R.J. burying that deep game-winning 3-pointer, sending his dad -- stool-bound, thanks to an Achilles tear suffered in a postgame celebration just a week before -- tumbling to the floor, helpess with joy.

We'll always have Ron Hunter's emotion: How gleefully he soaked up the rare spotlight. How happily he coasted on his mobility scooter. How openly he wept when the "best week of [his] life" ended Saturday afternoon, when he talked about how much he loved his son.
