1974 Hoops

Obviously I knew about David Thompson's 1974 NC State team beating Walton's UCLA squad  - I am nothing, after all, if not a learned man - but I never realized his:

N.C. State erased an 11-point deficit midway through the second half and a seven-point deficit in the second extra session.

Down by 11! And then 7 in overtime to the single greatest team juggernaut in college sports history and they WON?!??!?!!? Wow.

Enjoy previous Xmastime thoughts on The Mystery of David Thompson.
