Laettner and Ewing?

I admittedly stink at trivia.

And now when I check their college stats, there's no way they were close. See, I stink at trivia...

no...I'm not surprised , and we may see more freshman making first team now with the new rules about players leaving high school for the NBA, combine that with players leaving early, and this is where we are.

Memphis State.... good guess, but no.

prodigy · Mar 26, 2007

yeah this is a tough one. at first damon bailey seemed plausible but i dont think he ever made a 1st team. i think he was 2nd or 3rd.

prodigy · Mar 26, 2007

shaquille o'neal?

im running out of guesses with webber, damon bailey, and shaq.

FairWarning · Mar 26, 2007

Then I'll guess Pervis Ellison

correct...when I read this I was surprised myself.

It seemed like a few other freshman over the years would have made first team....Keith Lee was a good guess, Pervis Ellison, Sampson

fu.ck. as soon as i guessed shaq, i knew i was on the right path. jackson was a definite stud in college. cant believe i missed that one. wouldnt have guessed tisdale.

Journeyman · Mar 26, 2007

Tisdale was a monster scoring machine as was Jackson, Jackson really fell apart in the NBA, religion I guess.

I loved LSU when Dale Brown was coach...they made some nice runs, the 1986 run with the Wilson brothers was impressive...anytime I think of LSU I can't forget that game where Kentucky and LSU hooked up in that amazing come from behind game.

48-32 at halftime and then it only got worse ... before the comeback. crazy ass game. 68-37 at like the 15:00 mark. travis ford should have no problem convincing his umass teams that any comeback is possible.

prodigy · Mar 26, 2007

crazy thing about that kentucky game is that lsu actually fought off a handful of rallies. normally a team makes one good comeback push before running out of gas. but kentucky just kept coming and coming even though lsu held them off a few times.
