Doc Rivers 35 ft ND shot?

[77ncaachamps]

Okay, who knows when my son will be home.  I had to prove to myself I'm not senile yet, so i pulled out an old photo album in which I had concert ticket stubs from "back in the day."  I took a picture with my cell phone, sent it to my email and I have a jpeg photo which I can't seem to copy here.  So, I will tell you this, I have not one, not two, but several concert ticket stubs as evidence.  I'm looking at a stub from a Bruce Springsteen concert dated Oct 14, 1980 for an 8:00 performance at - THE MILWAUKEE ARENA.  I have tickets from 1978, 79, 80 and 81 - all at the Milwaukee Arena.

BTW the Springsteen ticket set me back $8.00

Do this...

Anybody remember an MU-ND game in early or mid 70's that Dwight Clay beat us. If memory serves me it snapped an over 60 or 70 home win streak. Again, going my memory, but believe it was the first game I ever saw MU lose in person. I think it was a very rare Sat afternoon game for that era. Most Sat games were 8pm but something tells me the tears I shed for a loss were exposed to daylight.

Hope someone has some details on this game.

Clay hit a 20 footer from the baseline to beat us 71-69 and end our 81 game home winning streak. This happened during the 72-73 season and was the first time Digger ever beat Al McGuire.

Home loss to ND in the 72-73 season:   Jan. 13, 1973, when Clay hit a jump shot with two seconds left as Notre Dame defeated Marquette 71-69 - ending an 81-game home court win streak by the Warriors.

Clay then did it again in January of 1974, hitting the winning shot for ND to beat UCLA and end its 88 game winning streak ( happened at Notre Dame).

EDIT:  Sorry Lenny, I see you had it already.

Thanks Lenny and Sir. I thought it was 81 home win streak but was not sure. I had seen MU lose on the road prior to that but never at home. Sad day for an 11 year old die hard Al/Warrior fan. Another question, for some reason I thought ND clobbered us at ND the year before was Digger not coach then? I went to game in ND either '72 or '73 and we got killed.

That away game loss occurred the following season.  We won in the 71-72 season at ND.

Clay was nicknamed the "Ice Man" back then.  That ND loss at home and we were upset by Creighton at home during that era were two othe worst home losses  from 70 through 74.
