MusicCityBilliken Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 This is my all-time favorite confrontation: http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2014/02/13/today-is-the-20th-anniversary-of-john-chaney-vs-john-calipari-video/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I only saw the last 30 minutes, but it made me want to play for Calipari. Bravo to Cal for convincing ESPN to run an infomercial on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one about the development of fantasy baseball was bad. Otherwise I agree. Watching it on ESPN. Looks like there is one on the Celtics vs. Lakers in the mid 80s coming out in June (during the NBA finals I believe). that one should be great.

kshoe Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I suspect many people on this board are too young or new to the program to know this, but SLU played that UMass team during the 94-95 season. It was a double header played at the brand new Savvis as part of a Great Midwest vs. A-10 challenge. The undercard was Marquette vs. Temple with SLU and Umass being the big draw. Camby got hurt right before the game but UMass still beat us by 6 or something as Roe was too tough on the inside. That was Claggs, Highmark and H's senior year and the place was rocking. Pretty sure its the only Billikens game Dick Vitale has ever done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most under-appreciated story of that '96 UMass team was the Puerto Rican-born back court of Edgar Padilla and Carmello Travieso. The first time any Final Four team had two Latin American players. Both represented their country at the Olympic Games in Atlanta later that summer.

brianstl Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 I should have brought up Padilla. It just gets hard trying to remember all the guys 20+ years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
