RIP Dick Enberg. This was his breakout performance on national television and it belongs online. This is not the entire game, but it's a remarkably intact recording from late in the first half to the finish.

Billed as the "Game of the Century", the January 20, 1968 men's basketball game between UCLA and Houston was a landmark event in the history of television in several ways, including introducing Enberg to a national audience.

Visionary television executive Eddie Einhorn put up $27,000 for the television rights for a UCLA vs. Houston rematch from the previous season's NCAA Championship Game, and for the first time ever, a college basketball game was broadcast on national TV in prime time.

Maybe so but it is not the first "prime-time college basketball game ever televised by a broadcast network during the regular season" by over 50 (FIFTY) YEARS

The analysis on Oregon... oh boy. Ware is a big addition, but Couisnard is a horribly inefficient guard with minimal defensive chops. The better guard in their offseason addition if former Buff Keeshawn Barthelemy, though he looks to be merely a solid rotation player. Losing Harmon, Williams, Kepnang, and Johnson is A LOT of transfers out. Ton of turnover, one major addition - loser of the offseason.

UCLA... not much better here! The Bruins head into the season with an 11 man roster because they were unable to land a single transfer. They bring in three talented freshmen, but lost a lot in Juzang, Riley, Johnson, Watson, Bernard, and Kyman. Loser of the offseason.

Stanford... I'd call them a winner of the offseason! They kept the only player that really mattered on last year's team in Ingram, lost one rotation player but added a good transfer and two pretty good wings out of high school. For Stanford, keeping a five star on the roster and bringing in some fresh talent is a win.

USC... could have used a fresh ball handler but they'll rely on Peterson and Ellis again. Lost Mobley to the draft and a couple rotation players to Wyoming but bring in enough replacement talent with the #9 draft class. I'd give them a losing grade only in that they failed to add a transfer - especially to help with ball handling.

Wait - I just clicked through that whole thing and there's no discussion of Arizona? Damn you, Beachcat...

Even during the Miller era, it was really hard to get OOC home and home. Most coaches want neutral sites if they can't play at home, or it seemed most coaches do.
