[QUOTE="azillini1, post: 1517394, member: 11654"] Grew up in Springfield and was on freshman team in 1967 when Springfield HS went to the state basketball tournament and finished in 3rd place due to our starting center, Dave Robisch (went to Kansas and had a good NBA career). He held the tournament record back then scoring 39 points or more in 3 out of the final 4 games (scored 25 in the other). We lost to Pekin and Fred miller who went on to play for the Illini. That experience at Assembly Hall (even though I was sitting behind the bench) convinced me to go to U of I. I graduated and moved to LA and received graduate degree there. Moved to AZ in 1979 and have been here ever since. [/QUOTE]
