Game v. Memphis St. or Ole Miss back in the 70's?

[revolution]

Help me out.  I was talking with a friend this morning about the first memories we had in various sports, and I mentioned a game I listened to on radio when the Eddie Sutton coached Hogs played v. Memphis St. back in the 70's and my memory is that the Hogs won and left the court, but then were ordered back out of the locker room by officials to re-play the last minute or so of the game. 

I searched this on the internet today, but didn't find anything about that game.  Am I remembering an actual event or not?  Let me know anything about that game or if I can find a game report somewhere.

Thanks and Go HOGS!

Looking at historical data, the Hogs beat Ole Miss in Memphis in 1978 by a score of 67-66.  Could that be the game I'm remembering?

Right, none of those games v. Memphis St. fit what I'm thinking about.  That's why I suggested maybe the game I'm remembering was against Ole Miss in Memphis.  That was a 1-point Hog victory.

But maybe I don't remember correctly.  Just seems like there was some real funny business in a game the Hogs played in Memphis when I was first beginning to be aware of Hog basketball.  Maybe some other old-timer can help me out.

There was such a game in Springfield MO against SW Missouri State in the late '70's.  I was a student at UA and a car load of us drove up to the game. If I was guessing it was 1976-1977 season.

SECT in Memphis in 97, maybe? Hogs were slow coming out of a timeout, Hog's ball out-of-bounds, so the ref set the ball down and started the count. Hogs lost to Geo by 2.

You may be thinking of the 1972 Olympic game between the USA and Russia.

That's the one I was thinking of.......

Yep.....

Yep.....

I think that was the first time I felt total outrage towards the officials of a sporting event.  No, it was the second time.  How could I forget about the '71 Liberty Bowl?

Yeah, the officiating in that '71 Liberty Bowl was comical.

I think I remember my dad telling me about some BS penalty that allowed Tennessee to get the win.

We had some knock down drag outs with Keith Lee and those Memphis High boys.

Keith Lee and Michael Cage were on the same West Memphis H.S. team.  I played at Valley View H.S. in the '70's and got the chance to play some pick up games at Arkansas St in the old Indian Fieldhouse against both of these guys.  Still got a scar on the top of my head where Cage elbowed me.
Dang near knocked me out.

Remember that one.

I watched those guys from the time they were in the 8th grade. I think Keith had someone fall on his leg in the 9th grade and break it. It was about as thin as my arm.

As an earlier poster mentioned, there was a game against Southwest Missouri State played in Springfield where the scenario you mentioned happened.  It wasn't Memphis or Ole Miss.
