Seem to recall Rivers hurt his ankle or something in the ensuing celebration.

Edit: Looks like it was ND-Marquette, January 1985 at the MECCA, Notre Dame won 63-62.

Graves hit one vs. Ohio State early in Doherty's season, right? Pre-season NIT?

I were watching. I recall my Dad had given up after Marquette scored saying no way they can get it up the court in 6 seconds and get a good shot. Well, Rivers got the ball streaked up the court and layed it in with ease.


My experience was similar.

My Dad and I were at an OSCO drug store, in the electronics section. The game was on a TV, we stood there and watched it as it happened. I remember it vividly. Yet I can't remember what I had for dinner last night.
