Dr. Dunkenstein and the Doctors of Dunk, the sad story of Maurice Stokes, and Ms. 59 - This DiSH for March 16

In 2018, the UMBC Retrievers beat top-seed Virginia.

In 1980, Louisville's Dr. Dunkenstein and the Doctors of Dunk destroyed LSU to advance to the Final Four.

In 1958, Cincinnati Royals player Maurice Stokes collapsed on the airline ride home from a game. The seizure he suffered left him incapacitated, ending his career. Most figured he would have been compared with the likes of Bill Russell and Elvin Hayes.

In 1974, the Oakland A's signed Herb Washington who holds the distinction of being the only non-pitcher in MLB to appear in 100+ games without an official at-bat.

In 1975, Jack Nicklaus won at Doral with a key club in his bag for most of his final round.

In 2001, Annika Sorenstam shot a 59 during an LPGA event. She's the only woman to ever do it in competition.
