I remember that Elvin Hayes opened that game up with about an 18 footer and the Astrodome just exploded!

That one was noisy from beginning to end. Most people forgot that Alcindor wasn't supposed to play in that game because of a scratched cornea. He played and gutted it out, but he sureasheck wasn't what he normally was. Alcindor got even when they met in the NCAA's at the end of the year. He just dominated Hayes.
Hayes, if he played today, would be a small forward. He had great range on his jumper.
