Nope.....sorry

Were the teams UNLV and NC State?

Nope. But "UNLV" could be considered an indirect clue. They have nothing to do with the game in question, but.......I've said too much already.....

What is the highest combined total score for 2 teams in a single game? Name the 2 teams involved, the final score, ans the year it happened, 

BONUS POINTS:
The winning team of the game above had one of the most memorable and emotional runs through the tournament that year. What made it so special?

No way will I get the score or exact year wihout looking it up, nor do I recall the losing team, but it's gotta be Loyola Marymount when Hank Gathers tragically passed away, and I think his death happened right before the tourney began.  I think they went to the Elite Eight, but not sure, and if I had to guess a year I would say 1998, 1999 or 2000.

More detail would require a google search for me...

Ahhhh, sort of. There have been numerous teams that have made the kind of run that you mentioned. But this one was very emotional because of something that happened during this teams regular season.

Well, Luke is on the right track here so I'll just give it to him. Nice work Luke!!

Yes, Loyola Marymount is the winning team of this scenario. The game I was asking about was in 1990 and was their second round game against Michigan. Loyola beat the Wolverines by a massive score of 149-115 which surprisingly, did not go into OT.  It was a very memorable run because the #11 Lions went all the way to the Elite 8 where they finally lost to eventual champion UNLV. 

The run is arguably the most memorable and emotional in tournament history. Due to the fact that their star, Hank Gathers, died on the court during their conference tournament just 11 days before the NCAA tourney started. Shooting guard Bo Kimble, in honor of his fallen teammate and best friend, shot his first free throw of every game left handed, even though Bo was a righty. He made every single one of them. 

I bring up the death of Hank Gathers today because today is the anniversay of his death on March 4, 1990. RIP Hank.
