Big East opponents you admired

[cliftonparksufan]

I know most were hated opponents but seeing this photo today of Ray Allen got me thinking which guys that you somewhat rooted for. I have two that are actually Yukon guys but no Hoyas. If anyone says Ewing, Walter Berry, Carl Krausner or Khalid El Amin then you have to turn in your Orange Club Card. I'm curious if anyone mentions Iverson.

1) Ray Allen
2) Ben Gordon
3) Chris Mullin
4) Terry Dehere
5) Malik Sealey

Not Jason Buchanan? I might sub Jerome Lane for Smith. I always thought he was overrated. Knick fans might agree.

Josh Boone.
Chevon Troutman
shabazz Napier
Victor Page

Constantin Popa.

Stanley Robinson

I didn’t dislike Jason but he wasn’t very good and I didn’t find him notably admirable. I rooted for him when he wasn’t playing against Syracuse though.

 

[JOC44]

Ed Pinckney
Chris Mullin
Eric Murdock
Bill Curley

 

[PauliePeppas]

Chris Thomas and his ability to elevate Edelin to superhuman

 

[malpearl31]

Relatively more recent Big East guys, but I loved Mike Gansey and Kevin Pittsnogle on West Virginia’s 2005-06 team. I found that team to be very likable for some reason.

 

[CousCuse]

Got to put Walter Berry on the board. He was a classy player.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Billy Donovan

 

[crv1728]

Reggie Williams and David Wingate. Hated both but they were damn good
Ed Pinckney
Chris Mullin

 

[Ragman2000]

Jake Voskuhl and Khalid El Amin. So loveable.

 

[OrangeDW]

Iverson’s speed and athleticism were otherworldly, so I admired that.

I liked the way Ron Artest played the game in college. Good all around player who did everything and competed hard. I remember rooting hard for them against Duke.

Hard not to like Kerry Kittles and Donyell Marshall’s games.

 

[Shark58]

I'd never get a pug, but if I did he would be named Pittsnogle

 

[Cusefan0307]

Ontario lett
Chevy Trautman
Brandin Knight
Ashton Gibbs
Carl Krauser
Aaron Gray
Levance Fields
Dejuan Blair
Lamar Patterson
Jamel Artis

Yeah I think that does it.

 

[CousCuse]

Bill Wennington, Othello Harrington.

 

[Brooky03]

Most of Marquette's forwards under Buzz. All Villanova guards under Wright who aren't white (hated the white one). Joe Alexander. Quincy Douby.

 

[Louie&Bouie]

1. Patrick Ewing--Greatest college player I've ever seen in 40+ years of basketball.
2. Ed Pinckney
3. Kory Kittles
4. Chris Mullen
5. Walter Berry

Mike Rosario, because it was nice of him to offer his chin as a place for Flynn to rest his nuts in the RAC.
