I want heard Joe Quigg tell a story about the USC-UNC game in Chapel Hill that season. Quigg was guarding Wallace that game, and he said he “held “ Wallace to 17points that night. After the game, Wallace came up to him and told him that was the best job anyone had done on him defensively all year. Quigg said Coach McGuire came up from behind him and said, “coming from a player like Grady, that’s a hell of a compliment, Joe”
Loved this article. There were moments in the article where I found myself holding my breath as the quiet kentuckian scored the winning basket.

Nice read. Thanks for posting.
Nice article with lots of good details. I became a Wallace fan as a kid listening to Bob Fulton's calls on the radio.
