Taking out #1 Michigan... beating North Carolina in the Blizzard of '78... a freshman Magic Johnson... an elite recruiting class... Craig reflects on how Providence closed out the 1970s strong.
Great article! Those were the teams that got me into PC Hoops as a kid. Always thought those teams should have had more post season success - particularly in NCAA, though Mich. State was a pretty tough draw...
I agree Craig...the Sly thing was devastating. He would have been the 6th man as a frosh and was an elite college player as we all found out. The Michigan game was the best event I have ever seen live as well. Brody chased and dogged Sonar for 55 minutes. Sonar ran that baseline a hundred times trying to shake him.

Thanks. I always thought that Sly William's was the missing piece that would have brought them deep into the NCAA Tournament
