Alcala 1972

They'd been on the road nine of their last eleven games and the games in the Midwest had been brutal. Starting in late January, however, the basketball team began to emerge as the quick talented team students had hoped for. Led by Stan Washington and Peeky Smith, the Toreros won six of their next seven, averaged 86.4 points for their remaining ten games, and splattered some games wide open—twenty or thirty points wide open. The end of the season arrived too soon: a 12-14 record on the way up. After years of angry debate and student resentment, intervisitation policies were finally effected for resident students. A ray of light beneath the door. Enlightenment visits the university. Call the score tied: the same week all alcoholic beverages were banned from campus.
