I was so young at the time, I never really think of them as playing at the same time. By the time I really understood who both of them were, their NBA careers had taken different paths. I remember Rex at Kentucky, but not Robinson pre-NBA all-star caliber.
Pretty neat, but I'm stuck at work.

Robinson scored 45 points, which I believe is still the record in Rupp Arena.
he got a standing ovation from the Rupp crowd for it
When Chapman swung around momentarily open in the corner, Davender and Blackmon wouldnt pass it to him.

That is funny...so did my brother. Got his autograph on either a 50 or 100 dollar bill
I was at that game..
Can't remember if they called him "the Admiral" at that point.
Dude was unstoppable, poor Rob Lock got abused.

I know we hate all things Duke on here, but when Duke beat Navy handily to go to the Final Four the Duke fans had one of the best chants ever....Abandon ship! Abandon ship!
Lock later joked about the time he "held Robinson to 45 points."
Furd ... I think you probably meant "Davender and Blackmon wouldn't pass it to Chapman." Sorry to interrupt, if I'm mistaken (as I am, often).
Yep, I was there. Was a student at UK at the time. He received a loud, prolonged ovation. I've never seen that happen in Rupp for an opposing player.
The days when Kentucky said you are WELCOME to bring in the best player on either team and we will BURY you.
I believe that's correct.Furd ... I think you probably meant "Davender and Blackmon wouldn't pass it to Chapman." Sorry to interrupt, if I'm mistaken (as I am, often).
Easily the best performance I ever saw live. If Navy had even a hint of good outside shooting, they would have won by ten. Glad to get out of that one with a win.
