Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 5326278, member: 204"] Except I recall the game. I was following the team - not a particularly good team. I don't think I listened to the game on WSYR, but I do recall that Tommy Green played tough against a much more talented team that included a future NBA great - Jo Jo White. Tommy played so tough that he became known as "Jo Jo" Green. I can't account for what was included in the 1969 Yearbook that you have mentioned - including the mistaken score - but I am pretty sure that in the SU BB literature somewhere there is an explanation for why Tommy became "Jo Jo" - his tough play against a great player who quite obviously overmatched him physically and overmatched a weak SU team.
