SAN ANTONIO – You think you know heartbreak? Try being a Houston fan. Imagine being on the wrong end of the most famous finish in men's NCAA Tournament history, with Lorenzo Charles steering the ball in the basket and Jim Valvano running across the court; a forever moment of torture replayed every March from 1983 to eternity.
