Thanks for uploading. It's nice to see that others remember this era. Some memories:
We started off so strong and were ranked that year - in an age when we win championships with amazing regularity, imagine being on cloud nine just because you break into the top 20. (No top 25 back then, right? Top 20?) And you had to wait for the newspaper to find out. Get off my lawn.
Excited about the game? You turn on the TV at around 11:20 p.m. and skip from channel to channel, trying to catch the highlights on all three local news broadcasts. I swear to god, get off my lawn. I will call the police.
Waquoit is right on about the team being ultimately disappointing. The collapse at the end of the year was brutal. Then we flamed out in the NIT.
Stormin' Norman Bailey. Not the greatest player but one of the best dunkers, in a time when we just didn't dunk that much.
Corny Thompson. Oh my, what Calhoun could have done with that talent.
The backcourt was tiny. Giscombe wasn't much taller than Hobbs. One reporter from another team saw them in warm-ups and said, "What is this, a casting call for the Gary Coleman story?"
