Smile Re: Bobby Knight

ESPN Classic is doing a tribute to Knight and they are showing a replay of the 1981 NCAA title game between North Carolina and Indiana.

Zeke of course played in this game. His last college game before we drafted him.

Indiana for part of the game ran a box and one on the offense with Zeke in the middle. He looked really good. He finished with 23 points which was game high. Indiana won.

James Worthy, Sam Perkins and Al Wood were on the North Carolina team. Randy Whitman and Ray Tolbert, who played for us for a while were among Zeke's teammates.

It is amazing how skinny all the players were. But then that was before the weight rooms became big in sports.

Ronald Reagan was shot on the day of the game March 30, 1981.

A far cry from Indiana University to MSG. LOL
