Depaul at Memphis State in the "Tomb of Doom" 1991

The inaugural game of the newly formed Great Midwest Conference -- the DePaul Blue Demons vs the Memphis State Tigers. First game of the 1991-92 season for both teams. The opening of a new basketball arena, the "Tomb of Doom" Memphis Pyramid. The debut of Memphis Stats's Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway. New ESPN color-analyst and former NC State coach Jim Valvano. Great crowd. And to top it all off, DePaul pulls out a victory in overtime! Lots of recognizable names: Booth, Howard, Kleinschmidt, Hardaway, Vaughn, etc.
Had a tough time uploading this from an old VHS tape, but glad I got it to work (a few fuzzy/blurry moments). Very fun memory for me.

Even at his most atrocious game, Penny could hit some clutch shots. Born for basketball
