THIS DAY IN GOPHER HISTORY- DECEMBER 17, 1966

Gophers get 13 points from a 6'8" power forward from Illinois who would go on to play two seasons in the ABA after an outstanding Gopher career. Can you name him?

 

[Doc Gopher]

Leo: Just a guess-Tom Kondla

Kondla was from Illinois but was in no way a power forward. He was a classic post/back to basket guy whose big weapon was the old time hook shot.

Dvoracek was from somewhere in Wisconsin.

Still I think the correct answer is Kondla and Doc was mistaken about his position...?
