The Road to Old Dominion University's 1975 NCAA Div. II Men's Basketball Championship (WVEC-TV)

This 16-minute mini-documentary was produced by sports reporter Brad Face and photographer Wade Ridgely of WVEC-TV in Hampton/Norfolk, Virginia. It was broadcast after the 11:00 PM news on Sunday, March 16, 1975, 48 hours after the conclusion of the championship game in Evansville, Indiana. Making the 11:30 PM Sunday broadcast deadline was challenging as it required that the TV 13 crew return to Norfolk from Indiana and that the 16mm film be processed at the station before editing could even begin. The "on-time" completion required every effort of reporter and photographer – and of the weekend production and engineering team. WVEC owner and founder Thomas P. Chisman personally authorized both his station's exclusive coverage of ODU in Evansville and the delay of regular Sunday night programming to allow the insertion of this mini-documentary in the broadcast schedule. Mr. Chisman was taking something of a risk, in that this was Brad Face's very first reporting assignment for WVEC. This is the only video record of ODU's Road to the 1975 National Championship.
