I'm very much aware that it's not something that's well known. But there has to be a beginning for everything. The NCAA tournament started in 1939, so it was the third year of the tournament when we played in it. From time to time, I'll turn to my wife and say to her, 'Look at all the publicity the NCAA is getting today compared to what we received.' It's overlooked, but it's listed in the NCAA record books as a Final Four. |
It was a very close game. I was on the floor and we were winning. Then, they tied the game, and the Wisconsin fans went wild. They started playing the Wisconsin victory 1941 song. Unfortunately, they went on to win the game. |
You had to be there to understand what one went through. |
