>>>The only clear memory I have of Louisville basketball is when they got crushed by a 19-2 spurt in the second half by the Houston Cougars in the 1982 NCAA tournament. That was some of the funnest (is that a word) basketball I have ever seen!

>>I didn't see that game, but I have heard from a lot of people here in the Louisville area that that was a great game with Phi Slamma Jamma... up and down action, dunks, great plays, players complimenting players on the other team, etc.

>I guess from their perspective, it was a great game in the first half. In the second, they couldn't buy a bucket. Houston had so many fast break points, it looked like the Lakers of the '80's.


Yeah, and they went on to beat or Memphis State Tigers, then to the final four. I'll never forget Clyde "the glide" Drexler leaping over Andre Turner and scoring a layup in the last few minutes. Otherwise, MSU and Louisville used to beat each other up regularly.
