Nevada Dawg No. 5 Share Posted June 13 Great player for sure. I still remember listening to the NCAA semis in maybe 1960 on the radio because it they weren't televised. If I remember correctly, three of the four teams were led by superstars, West for WVU, Elgin Baylor for Seattle. Oscar Robertson for Cincinnati and the fourth team escapes me. I wanted to say Ohio State, but that may have been too early for Jerry Lucas and John Havlichek. This was the first year I followed college basketball closely, though I'd had an attachment to Bill Russell and his great San Francisco Dons teams a little earlier. I do remember that everybody raved about Jerry West's greatness. even as a college player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
