Terrence Rencher still remembers the one and only time his father took him to see a game at Madison Square Garden. These were the pre-Patrick Ewing days so the Knicks still weren’t any good, he says, but who won the game didn’t make the cut of his fondest memories from that day. The first-year Creighton assistant coach remembers fans being allowed to come down late in the game and tap players on the shoulder for autographs. He remembers walking with his father and younger brother to the train station and seeing back-up center Marvin Webster ordering a snow cone from a vendor on the street outside the arena.
