It was 40 years ago tonight that Georgetown took the NCAA men’s basketball title with a 84-75 win over Houston at the Kingdome. I had the honor of doing the radio call of that game with @HoyasWin, still at the mike after 50 seasons. I was allowed to miss opening day in Baltimore!

I had the privilege of working with Larry Lucchino in both Baltimore and Boston during my career. He was a visionary who made an indelible impact on the Orioles, Padres, and Red Sox organizations.The game has lost a true legend. I send my thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP.
