Here is an article taking us back to the 1973 UCLA title game against Memphis State, when Bill Walton scored 44 points on 21 of 22 shooting from the floor. An outrageous quote from former Memphis State player Wes Westfall is included:

I still say if we play UCLA in a best-of-three series, we win. Bill Walton or no Bill Walton. People didn't understand how good we were.

Now this quote is not central to the story, and Westfall seems like a nice enough guy, as the article mentions how he recently gave a eulogy for one of his former teammates, but this statement is absolutely preposterous (how ironic - a ludicrous quote about Bill Walton). Memphis State would have taken two of three from the Bruins? The Bruins who won what would have been game 1 of the series by 21 points?!? The Bruins who at the time had a 75-game winning streak and just completed their second 30-0 season in a row?!?!? Maybe this is his idea of an April Fool's joke. :)
