Pat Riley and Louie Dampier were starters on the Kentucky team who lost to Haskins team 72?65 in the historic game played at Cole Field House on March 19, 1966.

I say Louie play w/Issel and Gilmore on the Colonels ....Those two could "fill it up".

Haskins was a hell of coach.

Ernie D. Rookie of the year 73-74 season w/Ramsey in Buffalo but as mentioned prior thread by a member may not have gotten his fair due after Ramsey left Buffalo.Career ended earlier than one would think .


Steve Downing...17 pick of first round by Boston..it was short and it was sweet.
was gone before he had 40 games w/them


Larry Finch ...went to Memphis Tams of ABA ..2 years ,,BYE BYE..

opcorn2 always interesting..but it never ever gets better that Walton's game against Memphis.

The hype for Bird /Magic was awesome[I drove piss stop and gas only from Dothan ,Ala to Norfolk ,Va. on the 3rd leg of my trip home from Phx.,Ariz to see Bird/Magic with my best friend] ..but watching Bill was awesome that night .

I watched Murray St play a lot of basketball when I was younger, grew up about 35 miles from there. And their gym was where the high schools in our region played for the regional championship to see who went to state.

Nearly Perfect Is Good Enough
By GORDON S. WHITE Jr.
March 26, 1973

ST. LOUIS-Bill Walton put on one of the greatest performances in college basketball tournament history tonight leading his University of California, Los Angeles team to its seventh straight National Collegiate Athletic Association championship. His record 44 points was only part of his total effort as U.C.L.A. defeated an exciting Memphis State team, 87?66, for its 75th consecutive victory over 21?2 seasons and its ninth N.C.A.A. title in the last ten years.

But Walton's amazing work was toned down when, with 2 minutes 51 seconds remaining, the 6-foot 11-inch red-haired Bruin fell hard to the floor and hurt his left knee and ankle. He limped off the floor to an ovation from the 19,301 fans. This most mobile of the present college basketball big men has always played with pain in his knees. He tapes them before every game.

Walton's outstanding effort, hitting on 21 of 22 field goal shots, taking 13 rebounds and controlling both boards, was even more noteworthy because he played with three personal fouls from the start of the second half and picked up his fourth after 10 minutes and 33 seconds more. The fouls didn't hamper his motion in beating Memphis State's big men. He continued to play physically hard and in constant contact with the Tigers' who were trying their best to draw that fifth personal and send Walton to the bench. When he was hurt, U.C.L.A. had finally taken command of the game and was leading, 75?62.


But earlier, when Walton drew his third personal with 4:14 to go in the first half and U.C.L.A. led at 37?31, Wooden benched him for the remainder of the first half. Memphis State suddenly was playing a normal team of mortals and gained a 39?39 tie at intermission. Wooden, however did not remove his big junior hero after he drew that fourth personal. The coach didn't dare do that. U.C.L.A. could easily have lost its slim lead-61?55-at the time. Without Walton, this U.C.L.A. team is just another good team- maybe not even good enough to beat Memphis State.


Ronnie Robinson, Larry Kenon and Wes Westfall, Memphis State's tall men who worked on Walton in pairs and relays, just couldn't handle the big fellow from La Mesa, Calif., who zipped back and forth across the lane at the low post as if he was under 6 feet tall. He took in high and low passes from Greg Lee, Keith Wilkes, Larry Hollyfield and others and scored by out-reaching his defenders. He took rebounds jumping over the Tigers. Gene Bartow, Memphis State coach, said: ?We couldn't contain Walton. I've never seen a player so dominating as Walton.?


Bill Walton's 44 points broke the previous individual scoring mark of 42 points in an N.C.A.A. title game, which had been set by Gail Goodrich, also of U.C.L.A., against Michigan in 1965. Bill Bradley of Princeton (see March 20) and Austin Carr of Notre Dame (see March 7) scored more points in non
championship games of the tournament.
