EPISODE SUMMARY

In 1971, Marshall won its first game after a plane crash 10 months earlier killed 75 people, including most of the team, coaching staff, administrators, and several fans.

In 1982, Northwestern broke their 34-game losing streak.

In 2000, Vince Carter, aka Air Canada, dunked over France's Fredrick Weis in an Olympic prelim game. Some have called it the greatest in game dunk in basketball history.

And in 1962, Sonny Liston finally got his shot at the heavyweight title and made quick work of Floyd Patterson.
