Basketball has changed so much since then, Seven footers playing outside and shooting threes. Curry made two longer than halfcourt shots last night, that kid is incredible

Really good stuff. Thanks for posting that video.
I'm guessing "Jerry Dunn" is a name that lives in WKU infamy? If he makes that free throw with the score tied and 4 seconds left in regulation, WKU wins.

That's why UTEP's name ought to still be TEXAS WESTERN UNIVERSITY! That was the classic David vs. Goliath moment in NCAA Sports. If memory serves (and yes, I am that old) Rupp had to integrate Basketball at Ky. as a result of their loss to Texas Western and its all-black starting 5!

That game never happens if a game wasn't stolen from Western on a jump ball foul call....
no not off the ball but on the guy jumping. No way KY beats Western because Western was basically Texas Western ...with a couple white guys.
Here's how one news paper called it
"8. 1966 Mideast Region round of 16, Michigan 80, Western Kentucky 79. With 11 seconds left and WKU up one — in a game where a win would set up a round-of-eight meeting with UK's Rupp's Runts — Western's Greg Smith and Michigan's Cazzie Russell were to contest a jump ball. Rather than jump to control the tip, Russell grabbed Smith by the arm, pulling the Western player into his shoulder. Referee Steve Honzo called Smith for a foul. Russell hit both foul shots and WKU star Clem Haskins missed a potential game-winning jumper. In 2008, a New York Times article described Honzo's foul call as "one of the worst calls in NCAA Tournament history."
9+ minute video the call is at the end of it

Dawgxas Western would fit right in with todays style...Big Mac was 7ft but he could run, jump, hit the outside shot. A lot of his points would be 3s today...he loved the baseline corner.

Watched the game on TV with my best friend and his father who had played for UK and Rupp (Rupp had coached UK for ever). I remember the father saying the loss would force Rupp to start to recruit Blacks.
I am amazed when I travel around the US, you can always find a UK fan. A friend of mine managed a TV station in Huntington that was the UK outlet that covered most of eastern Kentucky. He always had KY businesses on a waiting list wanting to purchase TV time.

UAB has only been playing since 1978-1979. UAB has the most since that season of anyone in conference. Not to take anything away from anyone else in the league.
