The Midsummer Madness regional semifinal round is underway! Today’s Sweet Sixteen match-up features three seed Larry Allen facing off against two seed Tony Dorsett. Who will survive and advance to the Elite Eight?
We continue to wind our way through the regional semifinal round with what looks to be a potential nail-biter between two Hall of Famers boasting very different positions, skill sets and body types: third-seeded Larry Allen, a powerful man who showed surprising athleticism, and second-seeded Tony Dorsett, an athletic man who displayed surprising power. Each man's primary characteristic (Allen: raw strength; Dorsett: acceleration) made him great; that both possessed such a potent combination of power and grace vaulted them into the "best ever" conversation.
