From USA Today columnist Mike Lopresti:
This is the legend of an upstart men’s basketball team from Drake. But not the present one.This is about one of the most stunning upsets in Final Four history … that almost happened. …
March 1969. UCLA rules the land with a wizard named John Wooden and a 7-foot giant named Lew Alcindor, soon to become Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. …
And from Wall Street Journal today: After Years Down, Drake Wakes Up.
