Yes, I Remember Willie!

He was a terrific point guard with Mines, Third, Reese and JJ. He played defense with his hands on the court. Great player and point guard.

I think you are mixing up Willie Cox with Willie Scott. It was Willie Scott who was the point guard on the 1980-81 and 1981-82 teams with Mines, Thirdkill, Reese, and Anderson. Willie Cox did graduate from Bradley in 1982, but he never played basketball for the Braves.

You are right, Da Coach. I read Scott instead of Cox. My error. Thanks for covering for me.
