Doug Widtfeldt, a center and captain of the 1980 USC basketball team, died March 30 in Sacramento of a brain aneurysm. He was 57.
Widtfeldt was also a member of the 1979 USC team that reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. He was named most inspirational player in 1979 and averaged 8.0 points and 6.1 rebounds his senior season in 1980.
It’s Doug Widtfeldt, you nimwit. Poor guy can’t even get his name spelled correctly by the “Inside USC” beat writer. Pathetic. Woflie is so far removed from USC, it’s not even funny.
Please copy and paste from The Official Site of USC Athletics a little slower next time.
Who was the basketball MVP in 1979? Oh that’s right, nobody remembers or cares.
I see that Wolfie does read the comments.
I see that Wolfie will correct his errors when they are egregious.
And even then not too often
That year, 1979, rang a bell. That was Purvis Miller’s team, who was one of SC’s greats, so if Mr. Widtfeldt won MVP over Purvis then he must have been pretty good. Unfortunately, I only remember Purvis.
Just a baby… RIP Doug.
My immediate response as well.
Times have changed. Just a few decades ago a “full” life was making it into the 60s
Now, when I see that anybody under 70 has died, I feel it is not fair.
Doug and Jim McCloskey lived down the hall from me in Men’s West. Bill Bordley next door. Doug was a low-key, pretty good guy. Way too young to go, God bless you Doug.
