Wow RIP .
He helped pull a huge upset against us in the first round of the Atlantic 10 tournament in 1991. We had to sweat out that selection week after that

I remember that. I forget if it was him or Bernard Blunt who hit that big shot in overtime against us. They were a very young team that got hot at the end of the year. All three of their A-10 tournament games went to overtime that year.

RIP – – he had a great and productive life after basketball, and was a great role model.

I remember it as being Curry so I’m 99% sure it was him. Zone defense. He shot it over G. Stokes.

This is so sad. He was a terrific player and a role model, an outstanding husband and father. My thoughts and prayers are out to him, his wife, his children and his entire family and all of the faculty and students at his school. He passed away way too soon.
