College basketball has always thrived on high-profile one-on-one matchups. Some even altered the history of the game.
This Saturday marks the 50th anniversary of Elvin Hayes and Lew Alcindor (later to be known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) facing off in 1968's "Game of the Century" at the Astrodome in Houston. Hayes blocked a few of Alcindor's shots and his Houston powerhouse beat the future Los Angeles Lakers legend's UCLA squad by a bucket in the nationally televised game. But Alcindor had the last laugh when UCLA beat Houston by 32 points in the Final Four that year.
