One great thing about the end of the week is due to alliteration I get to post classic Celtics stuff on Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday. Today we have a treat for you in a rarely seen college basketball classic featuring Larry Bird. Many of you have see the famous 1979 NCAA Final which pitted Earvin Magic Johnson's Michigan State vs. Larry Bird's underdog Indiana State. But that wasn't the only instant classic from that year.
To get to Magic, Bird had to defeat DePaul University. DePaul's basketball program as been brutal for many years now, but back then they were one of the elite NCAA programs which attracted all of the top Chicago players (They now all go to Kentucky, Duke, etc).
