1938 Temple defeats Colorado 60-36 in the first National Invitational Tournament and the first major postseason basketball tournament.
1947 Billy Taylor of the Detroit Red Wings sets an NHL record with seven assists in a 10-6 triumph over the Chicago Black Hawks.
1961 Montreal s Bernie Geoffrion becomes the second player to score 50 goals in a season in a 5-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Maurice Richard was the first to do it, in 1945.
1989 Denver s Michael Adams surpasses his own NBA mark of 379 3-point attempts in a season when he fires six 3-pointers in a 119-102 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Adams finishes the season with 466 attempts.
1990 Philip Hutcheson of David Lipscomb University hits a running 5-foot hook shot in the NAIA Tournament to become the career scoring champion of college basketball. The 6-foot-8 Hutcheson, who scored in double figures in every college game he played, breaks the record of 4,045 set in 1969-72 by Travis Grant of Kentucky State.
2001 A record number of low-seeded teams advance in the NCAA men s basketball tournament. Indiana State, Butler, Temple, Charlotte and Fresno State join 12th-seeded Gonzaga in advancing, meaning 13 of the tournament s 32 first-round games were won by underdogs.
