1980 Gophers vs Purdue

[Frink]

Stumbled across this clip from the first half of an old game. McHale owning Joe Barry Carroll in this one. The game starts about 8 minutes into the clip. There are some delightfully cheesy ads, including a dandruff commercial with the principal from The Breakfast Club.

RIP Mark Hall.

Very cool, thanks. I remember that NBC college basketball jingle!

9 TO's in the first 10 minutes for the Gophers. Double T had 3 I believe.

Yep, if you're one of those"why don't they ever call travelling anymore" types then this is the game for you!

That Purdue team ended up in the Final Four. Last visit there for the Boilermakers.

Maybe Pitino needs to wear Old Spice when he's recruiting the local kids. It worked for the guy in the commercial.

Well, just ran across a part two. As I thought about this I realized this might have been the first game I ever went to at Williams. I know my uncle brought me to see this gopher team when I was little and I remember they played a team with black uniforms. I'm leaning toward it being Iowa but it could have been the Boilers.

Dutcher sure could recruit.

overall, Lonnie Anderson has a lot of late 70s/early 80s college BB games available on his YouTube channel. Gophers and others
