St. Patrick's Day 1995, Albany, NY, opening round of the Big Dance. In one of the most exciting games in tournament history, the Old Dominion Monarchs upset the Big East champions from Villanova. It was an epic performance by ODU's Petey Sessoms who out played flavor of the month Kerry Kittles.
@thebenflorance Yep! Lappas was NOT a popular guy in Philly. Don't forget that, when at UMASS, he had to return to Philly when he played Atlantic 10 teams:
La Salle
Temple
St. Joseph's
Bet he got earfuls from fans at the games.
