that one was too easy. I don't think that has ever happened any other time. Now if he had asked what year that was I would have had to guess cuz my memory isn't that good.

Memory. What's this memory thing you speak of?

NU did beat the number 1 ranked Cazzie Russell Michigan team but I'm pretty sure that was in Lincoln in the old Coliseum.

BlueDevil, trivia query to you...who made the winning basket in the upset of the Cazzy-ites? It was a backwards flip in.....

 

[HuskerBlueDevil]

If memory serves me it was Hare. I just remember seeing a picture in the LJS catching him just as the ball left his hand.

 

[Spartanhusker]

Your memory is great! What I remember(and remember, I was 11) is that Fred went from kind of being the star to a back up when Stu Lantz arrived...

 

[HuskerBlueDevil]

I just tried to find the picture but couldn't. I think it is in the NU media guides from the past, which was where I saw it. I was around when it happened, about your age, but not living in Nebraska. Came back to Lincoln 2 years later and a friend of the family gave me season tickets to the old barn. Been a huge Husker basketball fan ever since.

Missouri fans were not happy and the environment was getting fairly iffy. I recall Kent Pavelka whispering into the microphone for the final few minutes out of fear for his well being.
