Lucky people who were there.
I was in the old coliseum when NU came within a buzzer beater shot of beating Kansas and Clyde Lovellette, Hall of Fame player , when KU was ranked one I believe. And I saw the team from the Lincoln Air base during WWII the Lincoln Wings - Wings had Goose Tatum, Vic Kraft, Ray Lump - names that mean nothing now but who were AAmericans before being drafted), play an exhibition against the Minneapolis Lakers who had what was at that time a giant 6 10 center George Mikan, and hall of famers like Jim Pollard.
The coliseum remains a vivid memory in my mind 8 decades later. Pinnacle will remain etched in the memory of everyone who attended this game.
