La Storia narrata, a proposito di un Team-Ncaa (Penn) che arrivò a giocarsi l'accesso al titolo con una stagione da 28 vittorie e 0 sconfitte in una partita contro Villanova che avevano battuto sempre regolarmente nei 3 anni precedenti...è molto interessante. E bella.

Estrapolo la parte dedicata a Bob Morse:

The Final Pieces of the Puzzle

It didn’t take long for the little-known forward from a Quaker family in rural Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, to bond with the highly touted guard from a work- ing-class family outside Chicago. Both Morse (the Quaker) and Calhoun (the Chicago kid), after all, were soft-spoken guys who came to Penn for two reasons: to study and play basketball. And both turned out to be dynamos for the Quakers. “The pillars,” says Cotler, one of their class- mates. “The two corners. I can’t think of two people better suited to represent a university on and off the court.”

That the two ballplayers were different only added to their appeal for Phelps, who vividly remembers driving out to Kennett Square with future college and NBA coach Jim Lynam, then an assistant at Saint Joseph’s University, to recruit Morse. “We watched him play one night and [Lynam] didn’t like him because he was a big man shooting jump shots,” says Phelps. “And I just said, ‘Wow, I like him because he’s a scorer and can shoot from the perimeter.’”

Morse wasn’t a very visible recruit, and he wanted to remain close to home, so for him Penn was an easy choice. With Calhoun, Phelps remembers real- ly needing to sell Wharton to his father, who had to work a few jobs just to make ends meet. “That was a big catch for us,” Phelps says.

Both Morse and Calhoun would each go on to lengthy basketball careers after graduating from Penn, but when they arrived on campus in the fall of 1968 they really needed to lean on each other. “Corky came in as a high school All-American from suburban Chicago,” Morse says. “I played Class B high school basketball on a losing team down in Kennett Square. Although I scored a lot of points, I was not very well publicized. When I got to the Palestra, it was quite a rude awakening. It took a few months for me to come up to speed. Corky and I roomed together. At the time, neither one of us were highly verbal. We got along really well.”

While Morse and Calhoun were the linchpins of the class that followed Bilsky, Wohl, and Wolf’s group, Cotler was another big-time recruit that year. Like Wolf, he was wooed in all different ways.

...

The reason Penn did not need too many other last-minute shots to secure victory was in large part due to Morse, who was able to make baskets at any point in the game, from anywhere on the floor. “We used to call Bobby Morse’s 30-foot shots layups,” says Ed Spiegel, Penn’s student- manager from 1968-1971. “If you didn’t put a hand in his face, he would kill you.” Morse led the team in scoring that season with 15.4 points per game and shot a blis- tering 47.2 percent from the field. And while he had many huge offensive nights, he saved his best for last. In their first game of the NCAA tournament, the Quakers drew a Duquesne squad that fea- tured identical 6-foot-10 twins Garry and Barry Nelson. Instead of trying to battle them inside, the 6-foot-8 Morse stepped back and began to drill long jump shots, scoring 20 of his 24 points in the first half to lead Penn to a gutsy 70-65 win. In the very next round, Morse dropped in 28 as Penn beat South Carolina, 85-75, for its 28th straight victory.

Vista Duke - North Carolina: :D

Barnes e Rivers spaventosi. E Zeller me lo porterei a Varese anche in braccio, dubitando di una sua dimensione NBA

e Doc Rivers più felice di quando vinse il titolo NBA con Boston!

Ieri Duke orrida, consiglio a silver surfer di segnarsi i nomi: bernard james e Lorenzo brown

Nell'ultimo anno e mezzo ho purtroppo seguito pochissimo la Ncaa.

Ultimamente poi...troppi problemi con il personale al lavoro.

Inizialmente con la la sostituta della 1a gravidanza, ora con quella della 2a.

Sono al limite.

Worn out :cry::o

ieri sera/notte mi sono gustato due upset clamorosi uno in fila all'altro...

da 11 anni una numero 15 non eliminava una numero 2...ieri sera è successo 2 volte nel giro di un paio d'ore...

norfolk state ha eliminato missouri e lehigh ha fatto fuori duke di austin rivers!!!

anche se hanno perso, da segnalare la grandissima prestazione del "plumlee di mezzo"...visto che tutti e 3 i fratelli giocano insieme...

Che bel vedere i TAR Heels!!!

Dai, con i Wildcats di Calipari sono le quattro finaliste?

Ehm.. Controllato il bracket, Ohio St. e Syracuse si possono incontrare alla finale del regional, non alle F4 :-(

Syracuse avanti, pur in contumacia Melo.

Ohio State supera Gonzaga (ma quanto mi piace quel Craft).

Due probabili finaliste?

Vero,

Però...ricordi Gerry McNamara?

Il play degli Orange, quello che attivava Hakim Warrick...

qs. il Suo ultimo anno:

...e si può scorrere i 4 anni precedenti, tutti ottimi.

Ebbene, vederlo maltrattato negli anni senza fortuna in Europa mi ha dato tanta tristezza...

Stessa cosa, seppur in misura minore, x Kyle McAlarney, di Notre Dame...
