Vogler's dominance explains why the cold didn't seem too bad that night. Maybe also because I was 25 and had to thoroughly check out the new dome's beer selections.

We were there. Had a six pack of moose head in the back floorboard which froze and made quite a mess.

That was jaw dropping!

Digger Phelps said it was the first time when the student body stormed the court. Nowadays, storming the court is as common as using salt and pepper.
Mike,

This post brought back good memories!! Remember going up to the attic to watch the game so I did not disturb my other family members. It was a great game and if I remember right I believe Austin Carr was the star for the Notre Dame upset scoring 46 points!!

Thanks for the memory jog!!!
