March 26,
1979 In the midst of a self-imposed media boycott, Bird led the
unbeaten Sycamores (32-0) past Oklahoma and Arkansas into
the Final Four, scoring 29 and 31 points, respectively. But
it was reserve Bob Heaton's left-handed prayer that
"hit the rim and bounced
around for what seemed like an eternity," according to
SI's William F. Reed, before falling with :02 left for a
73-71 win over the
Razorbacks. |
