In honor of the crosstown rivalry here's a USC-UCLA basketball game from the late 1960's with Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) in the background.

being an old fart, I am guessing the people in the picture are....
USC Bill Hewitt #33
Jim Marsh #51

UCLA guy with the ball is #42 Lucious Allen maybe ??

I believe SC was #1 or #2 when they lost to UCLA and Lew Alcindor. Back then you were shut out of the tourney (16 teams?) if you didn't win your conference. This killed the SC basketball program that still hasn't recovered from.
