I was a senior that year, sitting in the first row of the Zoo for most games, including the Fordham tilt. Not sure if memory serves but I think I recall Wichman driving the baseline around a pick to wedge the ball up and in at the buzzer. I'm pretty sure it happened on our end right in front of me. Of course, that wasn't yesterday so who knows. But that's how I remember it anyway. It's difficult to imagine now but in those days you could smoke in Manley during the game right at your seat and I do remember the haze from the dirt and smoke in the air at the end made it difficult to see let alone breathe. Later on that night, I remember seeing Wichman, who was lean and sported, a let's say, wispy, stache, smoking a cigarette sitting all by himself at a bar on M Street. Those were different days for sure.

I also was at the Maryland game and I think your memory serves you well in that we did cut it to one, maybe more than once, relatively late in the game. But that Maryland team was a great outfit and these days would have been a clear threat to win the NCAA championship. Of course, only one team per league went to the tourney back then and the ACC only sent its tournament winner, which cost Maryland the chance.

Who can forgot Bob "Over" Dooms, so nicknamed for how many opposing players shot and jumped over him.
