Topic: 1971-1972 Basketball Team Returns

[Flat Tire 2]

I found the below link from WSAZ about the great 1971-1972 team return to Huntington. This team was ranked in the AP top 10.

Watch the video with Randy Noll.

"HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -The stories never get old even if the players age over fifty years. Several members of Marshall?s 1971-72 team are back in Huntington over the weekend celebrating 50 years since that magical season.

Players like Marshall Hall of Famer Randy Noll, Barry Driscoll, Bill James, and John Sark celebrated with teammates and other Marshall alumni at the Frederick Hotel in downtown Huntington on Friday night.

The 1971-72 team was ranked as high as 8th in the country and was led by NBA draft picks Mike D?Antoni, Russell Lee, and Noll. The Herd finished 23-4 that year and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The players will also tour Marshall?s Hall of Fame and attend the Herd-UAB game Saturday night at the Henderson Center."

I wonder who would win a game between them and the 17-18 team.

17-18 team is a lot younger-yuk!

I recall that it was reported in the early 2000's that Randy Noll was part of a team that finished 2nd in the World over-50 basketball championships. Quite an accomplishment given some of the longevity and health techniques and substances around the world.

I wish MU would have promoted this more. I think it would have drawn more fans to the game. Maybe get these guys autographs after the Herd game or something. jmo

Where do you folks look for your MU news?

exclusively this forum

everything in local media is either a lie (chuck) or everything's sunshine & roses.  rarely any scoop, never objective reporting (that left with smock).  chuck's attitude WOULD BE objective & scoop if it was true, but you can't believe anything he says.

Just curious, did MU introduce the members of the team at the game against UAB?
