Greg Davis?
Look at those teams. Thats why we need a great recruiter. Woof they were bad.
I think Davis is back middle behind MEshaun & on Shumpert's right. I remember him having a cleanly shaven head. This is really bothering me now
I checked the roster and have no idea who else it could've been. This was taken after the championship game where we beat Mizzou by 20, so all the guys that don't play much got in for a minute at the end, which is why none of them are in warm up shirts. Schau, Thues and Davis all played 1 minute at the end.I think Davis is back middle behind MEshaun & on Shumpert's right. I remember him having a cleanly shaven head. This is really bothering me now
EDIT: Actually, I think you're correct, it is Davis. Just looked up that year's roster photos & I'm pretty sure the bald guy next to Shump is walk-on Chris Schau. Thanks, now I can be productive at work
This year's team actually had more of an inside presence on offense than that one. Shump, Damone, Griff, Duany, Deshaun, all perimeter guys. I have no clue how they won 25 and got a 5 seed. They shot 33% from 3. Only 72 pts per game, but did get to the FT line a lot. I guess defensively it wasn't awful, though hardly great. 67 ppg allowed, but top 10 nationally in blocks and steals.
I remember those games starting at like 11:30pm. I was in middle school & had to beg my parents (okay, my father & I begged my mother lol) to stay up that late on school nights. I recall crushing Mizzou in the title game but I have a much more vivid memory of Shump dropping 36 on Depaul a round earlier.
No doubt it was Griffin that led the way. He was a pure 1 who finally got a chance to play the 1 full-time that season and he was excellent. And I think SU fans also underrate Damone Brown. Just because those guys and Shumpert didn't have NBA careers doesn't mean they weren't very good college players.
