Had half-court seats at that game. Actually, it was Harry Laurie who started on Murphy and picked up two questionable fouls early in the game and was forced to sit significant time. This led to our "seventh" or "eighth" man in the rotation guarding Calvin and was the recipient of some Murphy accolades. Interestingly, Harry scored over 30 pts. in that game while only playing what I would estimate as approx. 25 minutes.

If I recall correctly our stating lineup that year was Laurie, Webster, O'Dea, and some combination of Grant, McMahon and Leckie. Tom S. also saw some playing time at forward. Kenny Grant was a major player the previous year but with the arrival of Webster and the late emergence of McMahon saw his playing time reduced somewhat. Still a key player.

A lot of great players were our opponents in those years at the Armory. Norm Van Lier of St. Francis Pa. and NBA fame as well as Larry Newbold and Luther Green of LIU. Many talk of Frazier and Jo Jo White but I remember Marshall's George Stone (ABA), at the Garden, quite well. Marshall's point guard was Dan (?) D'Antoni. Always wondered if he is related to the present Knick coack. LOL
