30 for 30: Paul Westhead

If you didn't catch it I would highly recommend you try to find a rerun. I was still pretty young but I remember when Hank Gathers died. They interview Hank's brother, Bo Kimble and several other teammates and you can tell that Hank was one of those bigger than life people kind of like Wayman. Really sad stuff but it was nice to remember how great of a basketball player he was and how much fun he had playing the game.

I had forgotten that LMU made it all the way to the elite 8 that year. Unfortunately they ran into an NBA all-star team masquerading as a college team (UNLV). LMU averaged 122 points per game that year, which is still an NCAA record.

I missed the initial showing on ABC since it was aired on a Saturday afternoon; not sure if it's going to be replayed or not on ESPN, but I hope so as I really would like to see it. That game against Michigan was awesome.

Great documentary. That LMU year was what makes the NCAA tourney great.
