I was at that game and when that foul was called the stands erupted in boos and things being thrown out on the floor. Mattie Bell had to come out on the floor and plead for order which was eventually restored. Sprts Illustrated said the following week that SMU obviously had the better team but without Krebs we just couldn't make it.
I might mention that the year before we got to the final 4 and drew San Francisco (and you know who...Bill Russell) Nuff said about that!
