North Carolina and Michigan State honored veterans of the military with the first college basketball game everplayed on the deck of an aircraft carrier. The game aboard the USS Carl Vinson saw No. 1 UNC win 67-55, with Tar Heels coach Roy Williams calling it “the neatest thing I’ve done in my life.”
Fortunately, it was a clear night in Coronado, Calif., and none of the players got too close to the edge chasing a loose ball, as Will O’Toole notes in the cartoon above.
Since graduating from Seton Hall University, Will O’Toole has been doing cartoons for over 30 years for a number of papers (USA Today), magazines (College and Pro Football Weekly) and websites (CBSSportsline.com). He is believed to be the only national cartoonist to have voted for the Heisman Trophy and the Wooden and Naismith Awards.
