Sk is awesome. Can't be on a Huggs' killer instinct team. I like the rest of the list. I'm a huge imac guy.

Im going with logan then. He outscored other team by himself in a game.

IMac and his family stayed right under me on queen city ave. Dude was really cool. We use play PlayStation together.

IMac was such a great defender. He took it as a badge of honor to flat out shut down the other team's best scorer. He was ferocious on the court but left it there. Would love to see UC bring him back and honor him during a game.

Fox 19 did an inside look at the life of IMac. Loved that he had a wife and two kids while in college. He was so cute with his little daughter and son. His wife worked full time and had to really juggle while he was traveling with the team.

I was a fan of Jamal Davis too.

Darnell Burton--money

LaZelle Durden--man without fear

Logan--rock steady

Van Exel--lights out

LaZelle... the game he won with free throws at the end of the game while he is telling the crowd to hush between shots... damn!

i thought lazelle only hushed the crowd after the third. i like your version better

The hush was not after the third. He turned and jumped towards midcourt with the team immediately after it went over the rim.

that's right. i remember watching that game till after midnight. i don't think it was a school night as i was all eleven or twelve (really showing my age!). i was living in the basement at the time

Also not a Huggins guy but Roger McClendon was a great 3 point shooter

I often call Eric Hicks "The Last Bearcat"

Of course, there have been more competitors since, but there was a gap between him and the others.

I remembers a Hug's teams often blowing 20 point leads back in the day. It's not a new thing.

I'll agree with you on Hicks, one of my favorite Bearcats ever because of how hard he played. But I disagree with your statement of often blowing 20 point leads, it happened, yes, but not "often".

Michigan State in the 91-92 season. I think we were up close to 20 in the second half and lost 90-89. I still have absolutely no idea how that team lost that game. But winning a rematch in March helps.

I remember the 91-92 team and 92-93 team could give up some leads. I think the style they played lent itself to some big runs.

The 91-92 team had almost a 20 point halftime lead on Indiana at home and ended up losing by about 20.

Wrong, Gibson hit a late second shot to give us a 6 point lead at half. We did have maybe a 9 to 10 point lead during the first half; you are correct we fell apart in the second half. Nick was not starting yet for us in the first half of the season at Michigan State or this game.
