Really? Pretty sure that was the team; I might have been mistaken. What I remember was that they were a balls-to-the-wall pressing team (with Avery at point, and Florent as a 6'4" dunking fiend), that took Ga Tech out in a 14-3 matchup. Buddy of mine played for them in the mid-80's, was a bit of a surprise since he wasn't even a fulltime starter in high school (but plenty of hops for his height).
Remember the "slight" the next season, when they lost in the SWAC finals, and didn't make the big dance (people around here thought they'd have enough cred to slip in then), and then they got massacred by Marist in the NIT. No answer for the 7 ft whatever Dunking Dutchman.

Back to football talk, it is a shame yall couldn't continue the success Pete Richardson had. I wished yall would have petitioned to get into the FCS back then (as in, go to the playoffs). I really thought a couple of those seasons, they could have made some runs.


As for me being a joke, oh dear... you've wounded me

Lighten up. You'll give yourself a stroke with this much serious anger. I, like most people, am here to talk football and sports, and could care less for other topics.
