Or is it Tom Calabrese in the background? I remember listening to the game on the radio. Eventual 1978 National Champ Kentucky blew us out by 30 in Rupp Arena in Dec. 1977.

I'll take either for obvious reasons.
Well done.

102-72. Had forgotten about that game, and with good reason.

Calabrese played 35 minutes that game, Gilroy played only 4.

Gordon Thomas, Rudy Wright, and Frank Gilroy in the background..

For those not aware, Rudy passed away a number of years ago.

 

[BrookJersey Redmen]

Great memories, for me, mostly relating to the Truth photo!

His unorthodox, lefty, hanging, twirling shots were pure magic.

He could find more ways to score than almost any other player I remember wearing a SJU uniform.

 

[MainMan]

Name this player.

 

[TheSummit]

LeRoy Ellis

Well done.
Here's a tougher one.

I think it is Dusty Destafano who came after Frank McGuire and before Lapchick.
