  • Remember Hank Gathers?

    Twenty years ago this week he died...

    ???We all want Bradley to win. If our methods and visions for that are different, then so be it. Don't ever attempt to tell me I am not a fan!???

    The Bo Kimble one-handed FT's in the NCAA Tournament are such a wonderful salute. Every time they show those on replay puts a catch in my throat.

      Kimble's left handed ft (if I remember right) was classy!


      One of the craziest basketball games that I have ever seen was the Loyola Marymount-LSU game during the regular season that year.
      Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final

      ???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™

        Yes, they were left-handed. . .Gathers was notorious for struggling at the FT line. He was right-handed, so he worked on FTs until he was able to hit them with with confidence one-handed on the left.

        In the movie, there's a scene when he shows off his newly developed skill to Kimble and he says: "If the right one don't get ya, the left one will."
