YES--Amaya, Shipley and Jerry Jones on frontline, Freddy McSwain and Sterling Mahon versus Chad Gallager and Bob Harstad at the Arena on Feb. 10, 1990--video isn't real good but a fun game

Come on, man!  His name is Sterling Mahan, not Mahon.

Other than that, gotta love it... especially the CG referring to Herrin as "Rick Herrin."

Just too funny.

Sorry, "o" must look like an "a" without my readers---by the way, another espn game I looked at had Digger Phelps as a CG and he put up the North Carolina Starters instead of SIU's till he realized the mistake

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that Porter Moser came off the bench for CU.

The next year I drove down to Omaha to see the Dawgs play CU on Senior night for Harstad and Gallagher.  We played them tough but were playing from behind and couldn't pull off the win.  Thanks to Coach Herrin, I had seats right behind the SIU bench.  It was always fun trying to figure out what Rich was actually saying.

There is an Evansville game on YouTube from 1995. Chris Carr, Timmins, Hawkins, Lusk, etc.  Digger Phelps announcing on ESPN.

If I remember correctly, the Creighton game was a morning telecast on Fox.  Southern played a couple of late morning/early afternoon games a season on Fox during the Coach Herrin era.  That 1990 team is very underrated as it had a little bit of everything - size, athleticism, depth, offensive balance, defense - but had the misfortune of playing Illinois State in Normal for the tourney championship.
