I'll guess Sonny Dove and John Warrenmatt105 post=440501 said:When Kansas came into Alumni very highly ranked led by guard Jo Jo White and were upset by the Johnnies . Albie Schwartz put a blanket on Jo Jo . Who remembers the Johnnies starting five in that game?

Kansas had Jo Jo White and Vernon Vanoy. Redmen had Swartz, Brian Hill, Sonny Dove, Rudy Bogad and John Warren, I recall, as the starters. We blew out Jayhawks.
Was there also, didn't Calzonetti get the start over Hill?

Can't remember for sure, but I do recall Hill hitting outside and Dove dominating Vanoy, who was huge, on the inside.
Gabelmc post=440519 said:I was at that game (66-44 I believe). One of the most exciting games I have ever attended at Alumni Hall. Swartz, Warren, Bogad and Dove shocked Jo Jo White et al. I don’t recall Brian Hill. That game made me a forever St. John’s fan and season ticket holder for thirty years.
Tha other game I would rank as a great Alumni Hall win was the defeat of the Bernie-Ernie Tennessee team. The arena was electric!
Yeah, AH exploded when Grunfeld was called for a charge as he drove the baseline early in the game. It set the tone for the game.

It's all relative, I qualify for membership according to lots of younger fans.
Jealous that you weren't there and missed out on those great games? /media/kunena/emoticons/cool.png/media/kunena/emoticons/tongue.png
