I didn't peak, but I do happen to be reading a Paul Simon bio right now.

In response to 1979Quakers
As for UIC, I still remember the Quakers losing to them in January, 1983 after blowing a 20 point lead at the Palestra. That was back when UIC was known as Illinois-Chicago Circle or, simply, The Circle.
I was at that game. The team got booed as they left the floor. That was during Craig Littlepage's first season-- a season the team was expected to be terrific, but instead was a major disappointment.

I remember them beating a good SMU team (with future NBA center Jon Koncak), then three nights later upsetting Villanova early that season. It looked like that it was going to be a memorable season, then the wheels unexpectedly came off in January with the bottom being the collapse against the Flames.

That game against Villanova was a thing of beauty, wasn't it?

Didn't Littlepage follow Weinhauer?

No, the next year he took Booney and a bunch of freshmen to a tie with Princeton, won the playoff and beat Wash State in the 1st round of the NCAAS, probably his best coaching job

I was living in Indiana in 1980 and went to the Penn-WSU game at Purdue. Corky Calhoun was there. That game featured a furious comeback for Penn

Weinhauer actually stayed for three years after the final four season, i.e. his last season was 81-82. Littlepage era began in 82-83.

I wish Sarge had stayed one more year. 82-83 was the year that Paul Little, Michael Brown, Avery Rawlings, David Lardner and George Noon (c'mon, be nice) were all seniors, and Karl Racine, Anthony Arnolie and Willie Oliphant were also on that team. If not for the coaching change, I've always believed that they could have been an absolutely outstanding team.

That was also the senior year of Craig Robinson, who rejected more Quakers than the Princeton Admissions Office.

Little getting injured and that 1-4 offense Littlepaige put in place both hurt the team. They could've recovered from one of those but not both.
Willie is still the last Philly public school player to play for Penn.

Also then-A.D. Charles Harris stupidly scheduling the Princeton home game as part of a doubleheader at the Spectrum.

Wasn't that a kind of forced punishment thing for fan behavior the previous year?
Still dumb. Second row in the Spectrum sucked compared to third row in the Palestra. Couldn't have the usual effect on the Princeton players.

That's a well coached NI team. Had a down year, but Jacobson has to rank as one of the more successful MM coaches in recent years.

Is there a (rumored) date for the Miami game? Can't find it here or on Miami board. Many thanks.
