I was 10yrs old and I will never forget Larry Finch dribbling out the clock against KSU, the comeback against Providece (as well as Ernie D's half court behind the back pass) and Bill Walton's 11 fouls!

It was a magical time, and the time has passed swiftly.

I was in the 11th grade at the time beating up on people in the 9th grade.

memphischeer · 03-07-2013 05:01 PM

I wasn't born either but I've heard about it from my grandfather and my dad sounds like it was a magical time! Let's repeat that same run this year BUT win that final game!!!!

ATL for all the Tigers who are watching from above!

The wonderful NCAA run made me a life long Tiger fan. The city vibe was electric.

oldtiger · 03-07-2013 05:13 PM

I had to laugh when posters talk about their grandfather telling them about a 2 week period that I remember like it was yesterday.

Memories....

Not having to play SWLa or Houston on the way to St Louis
Marvin Barnes's knee
Keenon VS Walton was a great battle despite 21/22
Larry dribbling the last 30 seconds or so away while no one could catch him.
Those red, white, and blue warm-ups
Billy Buford's ability to change a game through his energy, much like DJ but on a little bit of a smaller scale
Watching that amazing freshman team before the varsity game of Washington, Wilson, Tunstell, Cook, Jones
Kirk Gowdy having no clue how to pronounce Keenon
etc
etc
etc

Man, my parents are old. They were at that Final Four as students.

realtigerinstl · 03-07-2013 07:25 PM

I also remember going to the airport after beating KSU. That place was a mad house!

jerkula · 03-07-2013 07:44 PM

Ernie Digregorio and Marvin Barnes were bada$$ that year....that was some matchup between they, Kenon and Finch in the Providence game. Dang I'm gettin' up there myself...the year i became a lifelong Tiger fan at 13.

That WAS unreal! We parked our car near Winchester and literally ran to the terminal which had what seemed like 10,000 Tiger fans.

I wonder if Larry "Kenyon" called him "Kirk" Gowdy? :)

Curt Gowdy...meet Larry Kenon.

Great pic of Larry! Brings back great memories of that team. They made me a Tiger at 12. All I had to do was witness 1 game and I was dreaming . Couldn't wait to get the latest Sports Illustrated back then to read about the underdog Tigers tearing thru the NCAA that year. They're Legend as a team and what's better is that they were good people.
