Penny's debut as a Tiger (video highlights)
Great video on Penny and his first game as a Tiger - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0D1IaGVs...=endscreen

Anyone know his stat line from this game?

RE: Penny's debut as a Tiger (video highlights)
All i remember is he made a big time 3 to send the game to overtime, and we still lost the game. Was also the first game for david vaughn. Both guys were very impressive.

According to this article, he had 18 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We exchanged a quick high-five before he hit me with, “Can you imagine a 6-foot-7 player that is a combo of Chibbs (Kenny Anderson’s nickname) and Malik, a point guard with lightning quickness who also had the size, skills and understanding to play shooting guard and small forward, and just devastate from anywhere on the court?”

I don’t remember my exact response, but it was probably along the lines of, “That would be crazy, and I’d love to see it.”

“Have you seen the kid they call Penny, from Memphis?” he asked me.

When I mentioned that I’d heard about him in recruiting talk and player rankings, but hadn’t seen him play yet, he smiled as wide as the Grand Canyon. Walking away, he left me with these parting words, nodding up and down.

“Wait until you see that kid from Memphis. I’m telling you. Just wait! They call him Penny. But he’s a Thousand Dollar Bill!”

In early December of 1991, I got my first glimpse. And everything I’d been told was undeniably confirmed on the night of his NCAA debut, as he collected 18 points, 15 rebounds, 4 blocks, 4 steals and 6 assists against DePaul.

If we had only won the game it would have been even better.

I've got a VHS of Keith Lee as a freshman; thin and wiry, super athletic, ran the floor like a deer and superb passer and shooter. Almost Larry Bird type skills. Outplayed Patrick Ewing.

Then someone decided he needed to put on weight that his lower frame could not handle-not the same player after.

Yeah

That was a rivalry that should have grown.

I think Depaul was picked to win the conference, but Cincy shocked everyone with such a great year.

If I recall, Penny actually had a triple double that game. Unfortunately the other double was turnovers. Other than that what a great debut!!

DePaul won the regular season, Cincy won the tournament (we knocked off DePaul in the semis)

I was at that game. Man was he impressive. But so was David Vaughn. The Great Midwest was a very tough conference back in the day. Glory Days!

I was there. It was also the first game in the Pyramid. This video falls short. There were a lot more highlights from this game. I believe that Penny had an alley-oop to David that he threw from half court.

I remember they handed out a certificate saying something along the lines of being at the first game in the pyramid.

Man, Penny was something special. Too bad injuries derailed his career.

I was at that game. We we robbed with bad calls (seriously). I have never seen so many flops on charges in my life. Wasn't that the first game in the pyramid? I recently threw away my program from the first game there.

I saw it with no sound at a packed sports bar in Montreal. I was equally amazed at how talented and erratic he was. It was majorly disappointed that they lost.
