Blog 7

I watched a clip of the 1970's final four game. First of all, a huge difference between now and back then in the game is that there was no three point line on the court they were playing. Also, the players seemed to not play as "showy" as now a days. Fast breaks ended with fundamentally sound layups, not dunks. There were alot more mid-range jumpers, and there were alot more white players if Im being completely honest. 
The shorts the players were wearing were extremely short. The hairstyles of the coaches and some of the players even could be best described as bushy and long. The classic combover was sported by white players and the black players either had shaved heads or afros. UCLA had sleeveless jerseys while the contender wore short sleeved shirts. 
As far as slang terms, I could catch alot of terms that were necessarily different than todays slang, but some terms used were "dish"-pass, "jumper"-jumpshot, and "big-man"-center. 
inbetween gametimes, during timeouts there were commercials for pepsi that featured women dancing in clothing with flowers and such which suggest appealing to the "hippie" mindset of young people
