Bill Raftery shares the best from 50 years of NCAA memories
Posted Mar 24, 2017
Q: Describe the first Final Four you attended. Bill Raftery: Texas Western [in 1966]. We grew up with kids of all persuasions, and it didn’t dawn on me that this was a sociological impact game whatsoever. Q: What are the three greatest games you’ve worked? Raftery: Well, I mentioned that 1 vs. 2 in the Garden. George Mason beat UConn to go to the 2006 Final Four. Then last year. Villanova.
