Somewhere there was an article at the time that they were tearing down Robertson Memorial Field House - and they asked Oscar Robertson about it and his response was a bit longer than one word - but something to the effect of "Good" … Anyone else remember this or possibly have such an archived article? Thank you

Nice article. I was in kindergarten at this time so hadn't become a BU fan, yet. However, I seem to have vague memories of Oscar Robertson in Peoria. For anyone who doesn't know, Robertson never won in Peoria.

Thanks very much for posting "A Mighty Roar In Peoria". This was a great article and should be read by every Bradley fan as well as Chris Reynolds, President Roberts, and the Trustees.
