College Hoops debate- best college duo in NCAA History?

Journeyman · Nov 14, 2005

With the college hoops season about to tip off, all hell about to break loose for the Rx gambling nation, every day is 'sunday' basically :103631605

What pair of college teammates would rank as tops all-time?

Journeyman · Nov 14, 2005

Olajuwon - then Akeem Olajuwon - and Clyde Drexler, left, led the Houston Cougars' Phi Slamma Jamma teams to three consecutive Final Four berths between 1982 and 1984....

Although they never won it all in college both Drexler and Olajuwon are two of the top 25 players in NBA History .

Ewing & whoever was standing next to him.....

Hoop Duo

Michael Jordan And James Wothy Come To Mind
Majic Johnson And Greg Kelso Not Bad

Journeyman · Nov 14, 2005

At the time Kelser seemed like he was every bit as good as Magic , I don't think Kelser played much in the NBA, I believe he played for a short period with the Pistons.

Sleepy Floyd, probably Ewings best college teammate :103631605

In fact they just don't keep college players long enough anymore...

Take a look back at the 1982 Final Four

monte towe and david thompson...

docmercer--banned · Nov 14, 2005

Larry Bird & Carl Nicks ... just I wanted to see if anyone could name one other starter from that ISU lineup

Scotty May & Kent Benson from those Great IU teams in the mid 70's

Journeyman · Nov 14, 2005

I was thinking of Nicks, he was the only other guy i could recall...

Ralph Sampson and Jeff Lamp (kinda weak, but Lamp was a good college player.)

Towe and Thompson I thought of them too...also MLB pitcher Tim Stoddard played on that same NC State team

chick'sfridge · Nov 14, 2005

Have a few to toss out:

Walt Hazzard & Gail Goodrich 30-0 1964 NCAA Champs.. Goodrich won title in 1965 as well (28-2). Both 1st Team All-Americans

MIke Warren & Lew Alcindor 1966 & 1967 NCAA champs. Alcindor won NCAA championship in 1968. 1st team All-Americans and POY for Lew three times. 88-2 during span
