Wes, who I know from Bridgeport, CT., is a contemporary of mine, and the greatest high-school player I ever saw. At Harding High, he shared the backcourt at times with John Bagley, who played @ BC, & went on to a long NBA career. We in Connecticut were out of the loop about Wes outside of a few stories here and there. Wish I could see more footage, I saw Matthews as a kid and as a man in the NBA...but not @ Wisconsin.

I was standing behind the basket when Wes hit that shot! Unbelievable, love to hear Jim's call. Brings back memories.

Thanks so much for this! And please include more, like the bounce pass for example.

So was I! I've had season tickets since 1964 and that has to be one of the greatest games I've ever seen! Great to hear Jim Irwin's call. RIP Jim.
