One of my three favorite Bobcat basketball seasons.  That one ended with a thud in the tourney, so it ranks #3 behind the Elite 8 team and then last year.

Worth noting that the coach of that West Point team that beat up OU was Bob Knight.

One general thing I find very interesting about the article is the enrollment number of 17,400 circa 1970.  By the time I enrolled only two years later and during my matriculation, that number had dropped to the 13,000 - 14,000 range if I remember correctly.

Campus upheaval in Ohio in the early '70's was a big deal, kids, as was the soon to be defunct draft exemption for enrolled college students a few years earlier when the numbers were higher.

Never thought I'd be a part of oral history when I enrolled at Camp Ohio.

It was also the end of the baby boom.  I remember a Post article bemoaning all those potentially empty dorm rooms on the brand new South Green because there just weren't as many college-age kids as there were five or six years before.
