BOWLING GREEN — It is hard to match the magic surrounding the 1967-68 Bowling Green State University men’s basketball team.
The Falcons won a Mid-American Conference title that season, and they overcame some difficult hurdles to do it.
One was bouncing back from a losing record the year before, which motivated the Falcons to succeed the next season. The second was accepting and following a new leader, as Bill Fitch took over as head coach.
“Most of the guys were so disappointed with the season before, they were willing to make some sacrifices and do some things that would bring everything together in a short period of time,” guard Al “Skip” Hairston said.
