All time starting 5

Like I said... stats are nice... but in 50+ years of following the team, GMac is a guy that came up huge in big games on the biggest stage in the modern era. Six 3 pointers as a freshman in the title game! The Big East title run. I seem to recall someone of note having an opinion that one year, we would not have one 10 games without him.

I think it kind of like a Joe Montana v Dan Marino thing. Montana won 4 Super Bowls... Marino passed for 20,000 more yards.

Same with Pearl. Could almost single-handidly help us beat Ewing.

So, as a point of comparison you're using two NFL Hall of Fame quarterbacks to compare an NBA Hall of Famer and GMac? I just want to make sure that I have that straight.

I remember a formidable matchup between Bouie and Joe Barry Carroll when SU played highly ranked Purdue back in the day as well.

National TV on ABC, back when that was a very rare thing.

I think you can find that game on YouTube

That group also beat Bernard King and Ernie Grunfeld when they were at Tennessee.

That game was in the NCAA Tournament and I think it was played at LSU

name any Su center who would have beaten out roosevelt bouie for the starting position.

just fun offseason fodder.

Bouie was underrated because he played in Italy all those years, and not in the NBA. He was an outstanding player, the key guy on those teams. Yes, Louis Orr was a terrific player, too, but Bouie was a powerhouse.
