RE: How good is Juice?
Juice is terrific. If Jay Lehman was on this team, Jay wouldn't score nearly as much as Juice but everybody else on the team would be much better. They would work to get open because they would know he would get them the ball and also because Jay would kick their ass, figuratively speaking, if they didn't. But that still doesn't take away from the fact Juice is terrific.

nicely put. lehman was a perfect fit for those teams. we'd probably barely remember him if he played on lousy eck or hiss-cr+ss-hiss team.
i think reiser played a bit with epperson, maybe gast and german. those we're good teams but talent wasn't as deep as the glory years.

Antonio Daniels has to be one of BG's best and I don't think they even won a regular season championship during his playing days.

Reiser played with Epperson for three years. Also with Burnham, Knuckles and Lehman one year each.

RE: How good is Juice?
maybe I should go see this Juice kid play before his career at UT ends
Suppose I would be making a mistake if I didn't see the greatest when I had the chance

Too bad you didn't get to see Mix's 47 points against Butler.

Won the 1997 MAC regular season championship. That team was stacked, too. Antonio Daniels, Jay Larranaga, Anthony Stacy, Demar Moore, Tony Reid, Dave Esterkamp, and Kirk Cowen. The whole MAC was stacked. I'm trying my best to not be a homer here, but that team should have been an at-large. I remember Dickie V going off on the selection show about BG not being selected. Fun times... Anyway, sorry to interrupt, just wanted to clarify.

As I have said in the past and like most of you I have been a UT fan for a long times attending games for 47 years and almost every home game for the last 38 years. Unless you count Craig Thames as a point guard and I don't Juice it the best point guard UT has had in the last 47 years.
1) Juice
2) Kasheef Payne (at least his last year)

5) Rudley
6) Justin Ingram
7) Jim Kindle
Can't do a top 10 because we havn't had 10 good ones probably part of the reasaon that we have not been to the Big dance in the last 35 years I am hopeful that we will be able to ad Stuckey Mosley to this list but too early to tell

I was surprised that team got left out of the NCAA. Was really unfair for a deserving team who had a great season. But didn't close strong.

I don't want to sound like Lehman's personal cheerleader, but do you realize that except for a five overtime loss to CMU the last game of his freshman year, he would've won the MAC all four years he played? I understand he didn't do it singlehandedly, but still ... OK, I admit it, I am Jay Lehman, so maybe my opinion doesn't count :)
