BU article from '86 SI

A 'quality' big man doesn't have to be 7 feet tall. If you're holding out for that, you're going to be waiting a long, long time. A quality big can be 6'7" or 6'8", and with a strong body and solid fundamentals, can be effective at nearly every level of college basketball. All I am asking for is a big man who can score inside and perhaps eventually command a double-team from time to time. Zach Andrews is the closest thing we've had to that since POB's departure. We didn't have anyone on the roster who could do that this year, and it showed. Hopefully AT can start to be that guy next year. I wouldn't mind our last scholarship being a ZA-type who is actually READY TO PLAY at this level.

I know...I was just lamenting the fact that O'B would've been a senior on this team.

I think about 'what might have been' quite often in that regard...there's a very good chance that we still might be playing in the Big Dance if he had stayed.

The good old Jaime Diaz piece. I remember when the coaches got us all together after practice and told us that SI would be in town for a few days to cover the team.. IT was fun.. He came to practice, hung out at the Fieldhouse and wandered the city...

It was a good piece....
