I remember the first time I saw the news video of that on YouTube. Classic. Stupid move to end up in the situation, but still have to give the guy respect for making the swim.

I have no idea what a TJ Lux is but the best player ever at NIU was Allen Rayhorn by a mile.

Remember the square shoulders on that guy? He did not look like a player but he was very deceiving. He helped ruined our NCAA Tournament chances when we were on top of the conference the last week of the season.

Yeah, you can call him (and Phil Jackson) "The Human Coat Hanger"

He always had a cheezy mustache as well.

Dan Palambizio lit it up for Ball State while Ron Harper was at Miami. Ben Poquette and Danny Roundfield were awful good for CMU. There was a pair of frowards at kent in the mid 70's named Trent Grooms and Burrell McGhee who werepossibly the best forward tandem in the league in their day

Rayhorn was great. For comparison, Rayhorn was selected in the 7th round. Lux would've gone in the 2nd round at the latest if not for blowing out his knee before the draft.

Where they went in the NBA draft has no bearing on how good of college players they were.

A few years after he ended his career at KEnt, McGhee, a city bus driver in ...Akron?...was shot to death by a rider on his bus, I think. Can't find anything on it and my memories a little fuzzy. In those days Kent was THE patsy in the league in hoops. McGhee was pretty good, though.

If Brian Moten played more his freshman and sophomore year i am sure he would be one of the best to come through BG, he is the best shooter BG has ever had

If he is one of the best ever at BG wouldn't he already HAVE played more in his Frosh and Soph year? As for best shooter ever? No.

Yeah, it does. It's a direct reflection of their talent as a collegian. I would agree, though, that what a player actually did in a pro league has no bearing.

Wrong! It's a reflection of their perceived ability as a professional. I can give you plenty of examples of great college players that never got drafted high (or at all) and never made it in the pros.

Ok, be serious, judging by the nonsense you were spouting on the previous thread (that got deleted) and this...are you Brian Moten?

I'll take Brian Tolbert or Derrick Dials over both Thomas brothers any day of the week.
Doh! Dials and Tolbert slipped my mind. You know, Thomas played int the NBA, but I think it was Carl, not Charles.

Through the years, EMU has had as much talent as any MAC school.
Derrick Dials played in the NBA for a few seasons, San Antonio and New Jersey I think. They had a JC transfer on that sweet 16 team also, Kennedy was his last name. He was a stud! Brian Tolbert was a flat out shooter! I attended EMU when Boykins, Tolbert, Dials, Theron Wilson, and that crew went threw Ypsilanti. Good times!!!
