I loved the idea of Wilson (especially in the class he came in), but come on...the two shouldn't even be in the same sentence. Wilson had what? 5 or 6 20 point games? Did he have any that shortened sophomore year?

I think 19 was his highest. Many games without very many points. I wouldn't put the 2 in the same sentence either.

Yes, the best fast break duo this side of Jordan and Pippen.

This +100%.

Can you imagine if Harris had a 3 point line to shoot from and four years of varsity play?
The Convo would be SRO with that Harris Bradley team!

Not to mention Z aka Jerry Zelinsky.

Many of us can name eight to ten players from those teams and then have no clue who is the starting line-up today. I wonder why?
Z from the corner with a line drive shot, back of the rim, in. They all knew their roles.

Those were a magic few years for NIU roundball. The field house was crammed and unbelievably loud. Another name was defensive specialist Tom McKiernan who had some epic battles with ISU's Doug Collins. Tom's brother Mike was my roommate.
