One thing I was amazed watching the start of the game was the whistle. St John's was in the bonus so early that game and a lot of the fouls were what we would call ticky tack today.
What an atmosphere at the old Cap Centre. Miss that old barn.
And in a lot of ways, watching that game doesn't feel like I'm watching the same sport as today.
A couple comments:
1. How about Lou grabbing the ball out of the refs hands (I think around 45 seconds left) because he had a little more coaching to do before the in-bounds. Imagine a coach trying to do that now!
2. Billy Packer was good before he got angry/bored/stale (whatever...toward the end of his career he was not good)
3. CUs Benoit Benjamin would be picked 3rd in the draft that spring being Ewing and Wayman Tisdale
4. Horace Broadnax has been the coach at Savannah State since 2005. In 2009, JTIII and Georgetown came to Savannah to play the SSU Tigers (Greg Monroe was on that team).
