Name Something Our Past or Present Players Are Known For...

Strange that JJ Anderson has not been mentioned yet....what a smooth player....

Remember the radio call time after time....JJ from the corner....YES!

Someone mentioned the improvement of Jerome Robinson but I think of Dwane Funches as the one who improved the most from freshman year to senior. As a freshman we would cringe anytime he touched the ball by the time he was a senior that man was able to pretty much do anything he wanted on the court. Bayo was for me the second best when it came to improvement from freshman to senior year.

Hawk for the 4 years of amazing memories.

JL for his end to end versus ISU.

Mitchell JJ Anderson for well just being bigtime at a time this program needed bigtime.

Roger Phegley my first favorite player.

Bobby Humbles for running from the thing that fell from the ceiling.

Will Franklin for two of the most memorable shots in BU history.

Zack Attack Andrews:

- Kick up rather than getting helped up
- Top play dunking over a guy (not a BU moment...but still cool)
- An actual theater major who doesn't flop
- the epitome of a great college athlete...great fun guy

I agree....I was gonna go with the 'ninja get up" but you beat me to it. Gotta love that.

anyone recall the headlong dive by Zach Andrews that took out a little kid who was standing in front of the cheerleaders?

Barney Gold-Mines - the reverse layup to finalize the NIT Championship

Did anyone else know that Mines and Dunson's father are cousins? A completely forgot to post it after talking to Dunson, Sr. at the Platteville game.

I'll always remember watching Mack Herndon doing warmups. He had some of the most dynamic dunks ever attempted, real crowd pleasers...

Hassan Houston's turnover.

(I cried Bradley Red tears to sleep that night )

[Chucky T's]

Roosevelt "Rosie" Davison....the first player I ever remember wearing the oversized "shorts". "Man...those look rediculous...it will never last." Shows how much I know!

There were some of us who were lucky to see Xavier McDaniel, the X-man play. He was truly a man among boys.

I believe in his senior year at Carver he went for something like 40 and 20. He also might have led the country that year in both scoring and rebounding.

Right at half court with so little time remaining. A&M litterally stole that game from us that year. Still a sad day when I think about it even today.

Some Choices

Voise Winters- I remember when we signed him was the most exiting comit I can remember. We were already loaded and got a big time signing. He was never quite as good as I expected, but was still a great player. He could leap and was a good shooter.

Harold McMath was my favorite when I was young and first started following the team. Mostly because of effort and rebounding

Luke Jackson was awesome. If he was 6-10 or 6-11 he would have been an great NBA power forward.

And since someone mentioned another team. I remember it being the most intimidating team I had seen when Carr and Levingston where freshmen at Wichita State. They about ripped the rim off and took the defenses arm on stuff after stuff.

I remember the Tulsa Paul Pressey teams and the Wichita State teams as being the most talented Valley teams I have seen. I was not watching the Valley when Cincinnati and Louisville were still in the conference( At least I don't remember it).

[lake Camelot]

By the way I would love to know (where are they now) on our past players. I remember hearing David Thirdkill may be in St. Louis and did not want found. I think I read that Harold McMath may be running a sporting goods store in Australia. If anyone knows any of this info, I would love to have a new thread started with that or any PM's if you want.

Edit: Also I realize that I have gotten off track from the original point of the post.
So:
Aaron Zobrist-Three pointers,free throws
Dwayne Funches-Muscles
Marcus Pollard-Original version of Antonio Gates(Basketball to football) Good B-Ball player also.
Willie Scott-Beep Beep(fast)
Dion Thurman-I can't say what he reminds me of !!!

I've got to agree on both Wichita and Tulsa being two of the most talented teams BU consistently played. I saw many BU/Louisville games in the early 70's and would say both the TU and WSU compared favorably.

I'll never forget an extremely under-sized BU team (one of the guys guarding Levingston/Carr was our 6'4" leaper Ford) taking on WSU's
"Twin Towers" and holding WSU to 11 second-half points to pull off a come-from-behind win. One of the best defensive halves I've ever seen to this day!
