The Scranton game in 2003 was Mike's freshman year. I was at that game and exciting it was. Our only regret was that it should have been played at Ursinus if the AD had filed to host which he did not. That was arguably the best Ursinus team ever. Dan Luciano was CC POY that year, Dennis Stanton the next year and Mike McGarvey the following two years. The other two strters were Steve Erfle and Naquan Williams, both excellent players. Mike was clearly the best player on the floor that game----scoring 19 points making 5 of 6 from three along with 5 assists and 3 steals. But---that was not enough since both Luciano and Stanton had sub par games. Their biggest problem was free throw shooting as the Bears connected on only 8 of 20---most of them coming late in the game while shooting facing a raucus Scranton student body directly behind the visitor's basket. Final score 77-75 in favor of Scranton.
