This week I got an unexpected email from LaDontae Henton who I do not know. The new regime is reaching out to basketball alumni (and I hope alumnae) to invite them back to Hoya games, something that has never occurred during my 53 years of alumni-hood. Thanks for the thoughtful gesture! I hope to get to DC for the Syracuse game this year.

I'll be at the Dome - this is the big one for us upstate NYers. Similar to last season, a win over the orange will make the season at least half palatable.

My favorite player who I tried to emulate. Sad to see him no longer with us.

Jacksonville 1970: Sorry I can't add a lot of detail to the fight story. My recollections of a lot of the 1970's are hazy. We were playing in a smallish gym, with the stands close to the court. Jville was a 'chippy' (jerky!) team from the start. Lots of jaw'ing which was less prevalent in those years. Art White got in the first punch - I think his right cross was on the front page many national sports pages. Higgins was a warrior. I had known him since 8th grade CYO ball and he did not back down. The fans jumped in right away and of course it was mostly pushing and yelling. I weaseled my way out of the action and against a wall. Coach Magee shooed us into the dressing room and refused to let us out when the fans lingered on the court.
My other memory was that I felt we could have won that game. Even though we were losing by about a dozen midway in the first half, we were not playing our best yet and they really were not that intimidating despite their size. I was working out my strategy for scoring at will against the 7'2" future NBA Hall of Famer Artis Gilmore. Fate had a different plan. IMHO they were lucky to get a 'no contest'. They were a good team - losing by 18 in the NCAA final was no shame when playing against UCLA.
We only went to Florida once in my time at Georgetown. Our second game on the trip was at Florida State. They were the best team I every played against - Dave Cowens (later Celtics MVP) was their center. They were NCAA ineligible that year or I suspect they would have busted up UCLA (or anybody) in the tournament.

Pat - I dust off these Red Daly trophy's once a year but the remembrances of Hoya teammates and fans mean a lot more. Attachments:

Hoyabrother - thanks for sharing the audio and sharing the memory of your brother Mike. He was a wonderful guy and teammate. A real straight-shooter in every sense. I miss him - he went way too soon. My favorite was the re-hearing the energy of McDonough Gym. On-campus basketball would be so much more fun for fans and players. Charlie Adrion C'70

Will 'Voter Suppression' make it to the Republican Party Platform in 2020 ?

Has anybody noticed, but when we win this year we are consistently around 90 points. I love Pat's in-game style. Much more fun than trying to win games scoring 70.

Basketball movie: not underrated, but virtually not rated - "Go Man Go", see it if you can find it.
