Yep, MSU ran the table to the NCAA title after that. Interestingly, the Spartans lost four games that season, three by four points or less and ONE 18POINT blowout at the hands of last place Northwestern.I think that was the last game that Magic Johnson lost as a collegian. . .

Another one...
In reading up on NUs first ever win at Assembly Hall in 2009, this year's version of the Wildcats certainly knows how to celebrate a victory better:
"I just found out about it," Carmody said in his postgame news conference. "We hadn't won here, really? My graduate guy just told me that."
It didn't take long for Carmody to share the news.
Afterward, he walked back to the locker room and informed his players, who celebrated in the typical low-key Northwestern style.
There was no dancing or jumping around when the final buzzer sounded, though nobody would have blamed them, and when they emerged from the locker room, all smiles, they had to correct reporters' memories.
"Since 1968," Moore said after being asked about 1966. "Coach Carmody just told us in there."
And just think if you had not gotten your a8s out of bed. You would have kicked yourself ever since thenI distinctly remember Jud Heathcote sitting on the bench, late, holding his head in his hands, not even bothering to continue screaming at his players. Not a lot of great moments in Wildcat sports during my time in Evanston ('75 to '79), but that game was certainly one of them.

That's not good social distancing or mask wearing
Little to no emotion...just like their head coach.
