As a junior, eight days before unbeaten UCLA's showdown against unbeaten Houston, Alcindor suffered a scratched left eyeball. He missed the next two games, and when he came back against Houston -- before a then-record crowd of 52,693 in the Astrodome -- he shot 4-of-18. Elvin Hayes scored 39 points, including the winning two free throws with 25 seconds left, as Houston snapped UCLA's 47-game winning streak 71-69.
USC used a stall to win 46-44. With Alcindor scoring 37 points (15-of-20 from the field) and grabbing 20 rebounds.
