Pittsnogle was an absolute monster.  I was a big Boston College fan before attending Texas and miss Big East basketball so much.

Those Pitt teams were physical.  Levance Fields was a classic NYC point guard that was tough as nails.

Doing that all in a 55 jersey just makes it so much better.

Cardiac Kemba.  Now I’m just turning this into a big east love fest.

JJ Redick at Duke was unreal. I remember him lighting up the Horns for 40. Always tried to mimic his jumper and free throw routine while shooting around at 24 hour fitness back in the day

Old old timers might remember this one - Darryl Dawkins v Maurice Lucas fighting in the 1977 NBA Finals.  Two BAMF - Dawkins was bigger but Lucas had a reputation of the toughest guy in the league.  That was a scary fight when those two starting throwing punches.

Sixers (Julius Erving was their star) won the game to go ahead 2-0 in the series, then Portland, led by Bill Walton, swept the next four to take the championship.

Oh Redick for sure.  Although I think he’s less random.  I’d consider him an iconic college basketball player.

I was a dorm mate of Michael Cooper, undergrad at UNM. He was so poor he couldn't afford to take his girl out for a date, yet made millions for the university.  So glad he was a baller with the Lakers. He's a great guy. NIL helps.

The Marshall Henderson pull was awesome. He was electricity

maybe my favorite college bball gif.  The older guy standing up at the end to tell him off is so perfect.

Big East in the 80's was unreal. 1985 Final Four had 3 teams.

Pearl Washington was always one of my faves. If you never saw him play think JCovan Brown.

As a Spurs fan,  I support this message. He was about 6-8 and played like he was a 7 footer. Great effort and culture dude.
