Message: [QUOTE="manleyzoo, post: 3073251, member: 519"] Smith wasn't what you'd call a power center. His best moves were up and under, kind of like a college version of a poor man's Kevin McHale. His 47 was only part of the story of that game. Tracy Tripucka for Lafayette had 41. The two went back and forth the entire game. I was in the zoo for that game (of course) and Tripucka was pretty much unstoppable. Nothing inside, all jumpers from the wings. He averaged 26 that year and held the school's all time scoring record (in 3 years) for at least 38 years through 2010. Tripucka's brother Kelly had a 10-year NBA career and his dad Frank was a star at ND and NFL QB. Quite a family. Also, wasn't it Smith who was at the center of the big fight in a game at WVA? Punched a ref if I recall. [/QUOTE]
