Evel Knievel's TV Debut, Bearcats beat the Buckeyes, and an NBA player officially scored for both teams - This DiSH for March 25

In 1967, Evel Knievel made his debut on Wide World of Sports, nine months before his attempt over the Caesar's Palace Fountains.

In 1961, the Cincinnati Bearcats beat Ohio State to win the NCAA title.

In 1961, in the third place game, St. Joe's beat Utah but that win was later vacated due the 1961 point shaving scandal.

In 1979, the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets replayed the final 17 minutes of a game that started in November 1978. A few of the players had been traded since the first game and Eric Money became the first NBA player to score for both teams.

In 1990, golfer Robert Gamez holed out from the 18th fairway for Eagle to beat Greg Norman by a stroke at the Bay Hill Invitational.
