Very Happy to have been a part of this effort...really did the season in question justice to go back and remember it warts and all!

Tomorrow at 7 am the Big East season
Thursday at 7 am the NIT


And, just so you know, some of the questions that were debated ad nauseum on this board during that era? They're answered here.

Thanks again, Brian!

Geez guess I was caught up in moment but what I remember from the UTEP game was a lack of sportsmanship from the Miners' side. Dont see that mentioned by @BKIn118 or the other accounts so maybe I was just caught up in the whooping. That trip started so enjoyable and then downhill fast.

Well...they absolutely crushed us in the first half. That home environment was conducive to a bit of braggadocio considering what was going on in the game. Still, I've seen way worse in places like Louisville and Memphis...just to name a couple.

Who was Calvin Wooten's roommate? Jason McCoy? Goode? Cortez Davis? Whoever it was seems like his problems played quite a role in team chemistry.
I believe McCoy transferred and went dancing, so prob not him.
Did Wooten make Dance w Oakland?

Think Cortez Davis, Mike Sherrod and Harry Goode were often referred to as the cancers on those teams

 

[BKIn118]

Sherrod was a a tough kid, but not sure he was remotely in the "cancer" category...just my take on it
