[QUOTE="Don In Husky Land, post: 1517677, member: 746130"] I was in the stands for that tournament! Barry Moran who later played for Northwestern was on Pekin’s team and all tourney. Robisch was unstoppable. Carbondale with Peaches Laster, Billy Perkins and LC Brasfield had upset undefeated Benton (with Rich Yunkus who went to Georgia Tech) and SIU had Walt Frazier taking them to the NIT so the announcer was giving scores out over the PA. Little Lawrenceville near my tiny hometown was one of the faves, finishing 4th in the final poll pre tourney, but upset pre Champaign in double OT and led by All Staters Greg Ritchie and Bob Montgomery (Bobby pitched against us in the Regional baseball finale that Spring and as a sophomore that year I got a couple of hits off him). A great year to be at Assembly Hall for the tournament! [/QUOTE]
