In reply to: 1978 Final Four game vs. Duke [v]  posted by tjnd88


Break. Tracy Jackson and Stan Wilcox lived a couple of doors down from me. Duck Williams lived in Fisher. He led us back and took undeserved grief by a few for the last missed shot. I remember walking behind Dave Batton after the Final Four on South Quad walking to O’ Shag listening to him talk about Digger. Apparently, Digger laid into him after the game for his lack of scoring. Confirms my memory that Digger was a zombie at the beginning of the game. I kept shouting at my TV set- call a time out!! During Duke’s early run. Returned to ND the next day. Tracy Jackson played really well. Tripucka got manhandled by Banks. Painful memory. Those stupid green socks. After making the Final Four, the rest is gravy. C’mon Digger. Orlando would come into his own the next season
