Did not remember how much WIley contributed to the game. Derrick had a hard time getting started. Unbelievable how young we were.Loved the fact that our guards never “walked” the ball up the court and always pushed it up court. Outlet passes by Wiley and Rodney were a thing of beauty. Didn’t realize that Crum used the zone press as much as we did. I thought that was more of a Pitino thing.
The halftime report on the genesis of basketball is bizarre in retrospect!Amazing how primitive TV Broadcasting was back then.
I was there. The thing I remember most were people sliding down the roof of the Red Barn like it was a sliding board.Still remember when the team bus drove onto campus around 1 or 2 am. Hundreds were out and started climbing on top of the bus in front of Crawford Gym. Marty Pullman was inside the bus holding up the roof which was beginning to cave in. The campus police finally got everyone off the bus and it went to a hotel near the airport where the team spent the night.
Hard to believe it’s been 40 years.
