BATTLING ON THE BOARDS

G Otis Cole (No. 22) and F Rowland Garrett (No. 23) fought for a rebound against UCLA’s Keith (later Jamaal) Wilkes (No. 52), with Bill Walton (No. 32) watching the action unfold in the background. Cole played 10 minutes in the championship game and pulled down two rebounds, while Garrett logged 37 minutes, finishing with three points and five rebounds. Walton posted a dominant performance for UCLA with 24 points and a game-high 20 rebounds, but this image shows how FSU’s hustle on the glass kept them within striking distance in the 1972 title game.
