Could not resist this one for some of my Purdue friends (cough, cough ... @Coach Nowlin... cough). I believe this gem was attributed to Bobby Knight.

How many people can you name from any NCAA tournament champion team from more than 10 years ago?

A few. For example, the starting 5 for UCLA’s 1970 champs was Sydney Wicks,  Curtis Rowe, Henry Bibby, Steve Patterson, and Terry Schofield. Larry Farmer was first off the bench, I think.

I don’t think so. But they won the national championship with a 1 loss season. See if you can guess who gave them the single blemish on their record that season.

I know, I know, I know......I remember seeing it. It was also the last team to beat UCLA before the streak started. Bill Walton says that game STILL haunts him. I remember that the UCLA ND game was always a big rivalry game back then.  That was the same year though that a phantom foul called against Steve Downing from IU on Walton in the tournament kept them on track for the title streak, right?

Actually, the Irish bookended UCLA’s 88 game winning streak. After that game in Jan. 1971, the Bruins didn’t lose again until the Walton-led team was upset at ND 81-80 in Jan. 1974. Irish scored the last 11 points of the game.

We’d rather be the boss of the astronauts.

Should have gone to CalTech, then. Or, Bedford North Lawrence HS.
