Amazing! That DVD is from the Ohio State radio broadcast . I was a senior and was on WRSU and broadcast the radio play by play with my partner Tony Malanga. One of the greatest games I had the pleasure of calling. Unfortunately, MSG was not too hospitable to student radio stations as our broadcast location was above the green seats. The players looked like ants running around.
Kelvin Ransey seemed like he never missed a shot. Bailey, Abdel and the crew with Kelvin being our enforcer would not quit and when Bailey jammed that ball home in the third OT , I almost lost my voice. I was hoarse for a week after that game. I got very friendly with Kelvin, Darius Griffin as the year went along , and I got lucky to do the radio call against Syracuse at the Manley Fieldhouse later in February in the next to last game played there before they moved to the Carrier Dome. I still think that was one of my best calls as we got absolutely hosed by the refs that night. We were up 9 and the refs proceeded to foul out almost our entire front line, JAMES, Abdel, and Kelvin and then Darryl . Those were my 2 favorite memorable broadcasts. I was in Greensboro and was ready to call the Elite Eight final until St. John's upset us. I have no doubt that would have been the best one because we would have killed Penn and played Magic in the Final Four. Wow what memories, like it was yesterday.
