dgiesI was at the Rick Mount game and was heartbroken. Granted, I was a little guy and took loses very hard. Worse, Ric Cobb is one of my favorite MU players off the court and he did miss key free throws.
Was at that No Dick gameMy memory was that shot was close to Half court so more like 40 feet.
OK. It is official. 35 feet! As I say often F#@k No Dick.
Why do you think “No Dick” is an insult?
. Talked to Ric about that, his comment was at least I made the first one. Worst play was when Dean let George bring the ball up at the end of the game and George Faeber picked his pocket, there would have been no free throws if Dean would have brought the ball up.
In fairness to Ric, no one person loses a game, a team does. The free throw may have been the most obvious mistake (like not fouling last week against Creighton) but everybody on that floor contributed equally to putting Ric in a spot where he HAD to make the free throws.That game aggravated the hell out of me — until the Ohio State game two years later. Those were the days and we hope many more are ahead!
Isn't it?
These are all great memories, but the heartbreaker for me was in the Warriors infancy when they let the Salukis come back from I think a 13 point half time deficit to beat them in the NIT championship. Also have to say I loved Pat Smith and Bob Wolf, they got us going.
if we win that NIT, Rick Mount doesn't hit his shot, Ohio St doesn't hit their shot, Al doesn't get ejected against NC St, chines doesn't leave, we don't turn down the NCAA invite then we basically become UCLA right?
GalwayNobody was or could have been UCLA, but in those days we were the next best thing.It was even better than being “Duke North”.
