Larry Mikan has 26 points and 17 boards for Gophers. A 6'2" guard from Brooklyn scores 16 for Minnesota. He will go on to tie the school record of 42 points in a game vs. Wisconsin (though he will require 42 shots to do it!) Can you name him?
Bonus Question- A 6'5" guard/small forward scores 26 for Spartans. He had earlier teamed with Spencer Haywood to win a Michigan state high school championship before going on to 2 seasons at MSU and stardom in the ABA with the Nuggets. Can you name him?
 

Leo: I think the Gopher was Ollie Shannon. Have to think about the Spartan.
