New Release by Sonny Marks Scores One for Basketball Fans; Published by Dog Ear Publishing
It was an unlikely set of players to try to save the day in a heart-stopping basketball game in 1978. LSU’s five starters had fouled out against Kentucky, the top team in the nation. Left on the floor for the Tigers were five subs: a senior with a bum knee, a black Jewish freshman, a walk-on and two white boys: one, a dentist’s son from New Orleans; and the other, a 7-foot surfer from Florida. Their inspiration was their eccentric coach. LSU's largest basketball crowd watched what happened next. - October 08, 2010 - Dog Ear Publishing
