The game before that Jacksonville beat Kentucky 106-100. UK had
Dan Issel. Gilmore and Issel ended up on the Kentucky Colonels in the ABA together.
Before that, Jacksonville beat Iowa something like 105-104 and beat Western Kentucky by putting up over 100. In those days, the D couldn't touch/bump people and most good teams ran fast offenses. Jacksonville had a guy named Rex Morgan. He and Gilmore were the leading scorers. They called those two Batman and Robin. Gilmore was Batman.
UCLA slowed people down with their 2-2-1 press and help defense.
