Fifty years ago, on March 8, 1969, 10,600 people filed into the University of Georgia’s Stegeman Coliseum. Why the excitement? LSU basketball star “Pistol Pete” Maravich was in town. Maravich scored 58 points that night and was mobbed by adoring fans. His career college scoring average was more than 44 per game. The game at Georgia defines an era embodied by Maravich and contemporaries Calvin Murphy of Niagara University and Rick Mount of Purdue.
