    Rick Barry 5 Apr 2017

    Rick Barry 5 Apr 2017 254-2017-10 I’m writing this article the week before the 2017 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. It should be an exciting weekend with all three Final Four games taking place in Glendale, Ariz., at University of Phoenix Stadium. Here’s the schedule for the Final Four games: Semifinals (Saturday, April 1) South Carolina vs. Gonzaga Oregon vs. North Carolina National championship (Monday, April 3) Semifinal winners On Sunday, 26 March, I was watching the South Carolina – Florida game on TV and they showed Rick Barry and his wife Lynn in the audience. They said he was there to watch his son Canyon, who plays for Florida. Well, I didn’t know he had a fifth son and I also thought Rick Barry was too old to have a son in college. He is almost as old as me and my youngest son finished college in the mid-1990s. More about Canyon later but this sparked my interest in Rick Barry’s career and his personal life.
