In vintage Pete Carril lingo, the play was called "center-forward."
"Because the ball goes to the center and then to the forward," Gabe
Lewullis explained. "Not very inventive."
But the play with the state-school name armed the Ivy League upstarts with a
loaded slingshot.
Steve Goodrich, the center, took the ball at the top of the key, shading just
a bit toward the left wing. He took one step out, enough to give him room to
peek around Jelani McCoy. Just as he did, Lewullis (the forward) threw a little
fake at Charles O'Bannon and drove the baseline.
Goodrich bounced the perfect pass and Lewullis scored the layup, backdooring
Princeton into history and defending national champion UCLA out of the tournament.
A 3,000-mile divide separates Lewullis and Goodrich today. Lewullis is the chief
resident in orthopedic surgery at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia.
Goodrich is in California, where he works for 1st Century, a bank he actually
helped start.
