I was at the Sonny Dove final as well. I first got into college basketball when my father went back to school to get a PhD at St John's in psychology in '67, when I was 10. I went to a lot of games at Alumni Hall and the excitement level was incredible. Later on in high school, I got a GO card and went to games at the Garden for a buck or two. The best I saw that way was the Jim McDaniel-Johnny Roche Holiday Festival final. Frank McGuire was the South Carolina coach and brought all those NYC players down there--McDaniel was the best college player in the land at that time.
