In response to Ancient Quaker
I was at the ceremonies yesterday before the game (including the Alumni game, which Steve Danley ended with a 65 foot swish) and every '78 grad there (McDonald, Crowley and of course "Go Stan Greene") is certain that the '78 team was better
Of note; McDonald said we lost to Duke because the refs called 2 questionable fouls against him early in the first half, taking him out of the game for the entire half (after putting up 37 against Bonaventure), Crowley thought the sequence at the end of the first half where we had the ball up 2 and missed a front end of a 1 and 1 followed by two turnovers so that Penn went in down 4 might have been the difference and Booney thought he should have been in there with the ball in the key sequence with the 3 rejections (2 by Crowley and 1 by Willis).
But it was great seeing all these guys and reminiscing, especially on the 40th anniversary of the Blizzard of '78 and the trip to the frozen tundra of Yale and Brown.
