February 13, 201511 yr Same teams, essentially, with Butler swapped out for Ackles in what is a wash. Again, it was a 30-point margin the first time. Vegas' players didn't get 30 points worse in one year. Rigged. No way, it makes for great theatre, but who do you go to shave the game? Augmon, Johnson, and Anthony were multi-millionaires thirty days later. Anthony (not on scholarship) was making over $200,000 in college with his sporting goods store that he opened when he was 14 with his best friend. Ackles didn't touch it enough to make the difference, this leaves Hunt. Hunt scored 27 points that night and was the best player on the floor. You could not bet in Nevada on the game, so that leaves off shore and the streets. You couldn't throw enough cash at the players to make it worth while. What they paid Boston College and ASU players was chump change. Ackles would be the only possibility, George really thought he was going to the league with his size, it was fools gold, but he believed it. Their heads were not screwed on right, watch the game before against Utah, they were very sluggish and going through the motions. They didn't take Duke serious that night, Tark and Grgurich could feel it in walk arounds. I was 7th row floor in Indy that night, it took two years off my life and still bothers me 24 years later.
February 19, 201511 yr Las Vegas Strip to dim lights for Jerry Tarkanian tribute - ESPN I've been following this movement on Twitter and so happy Steve Wynn finally came around to follow suit. Very touching after reading tweets from his family and friends. They also said if game was going on at 1030 that game would be paused to join the moment. I think I read only 8th time in history. I believe it was Kennedy Reagan Sinatra Burns Davis Martin 911 victims and someone else I can't remember. Pretty cool. I would have loved to seen it in person.
