Too bad Dick Vitale didn't do the game.
Btw, I met him when he was at U of Detroit. He was recruiting a senior when I was a junior and he told us all to come to the game and he showed us through the locker room. It was cool for a kid and it was when they were doing very well with (I'm trying to pull up the names from over 30 years ago).
Trying to remember if Duerod was UD or UM. Terry Tyler was one of them.
I found an article about their reunion (mentions Vitale) -

The 1977 University of Detroit basketball team, which reached a school-record 25 victories in 29 games, was honored recently during halftime ceremonies of the game between the University of Detroit Mercy and DePaul at Calihan Hall.
The team, which was led by Terry Tyler and John Long and coached by Dick Vitale, put together a stretch of 21 victories in a row during the year along with an NCAA bid – the Titans’ first since 1962 – plus a victory over Middle Tennessee State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
