Ummmmm... I just thought of a player(s) that did a pretty good job at SU. Don't know if you remember them but I do and they would put PC, BS, and MD on the bench for a long time. So I disagree with you here. We've had better more dominant centers on that front line.

It was in the NCAA tournament his junior year that Seikaly put his game together. Fueled by some caustic remarks by announcer Brent Musberger, Seikaly exploded for 33 points against Florida and the Gators' highly touted Duane Schintzius. Staying on a roll, Seikaly helped Syracuse knock off the favored North Carolina Tar Heels with 26 points and 11 rebounds, leading the Orangemen to the Final Four. The Orangemen would eventually lose to Indiana in the championship game, but Seikaly dominated throughout most the tournament.

Seikaly played his senior season with a more consistent game, with strong efforts most nights. He would lead the Orangemen in scoring, twice breaking the 30 point mark. [B]He and Derrick Coleman would provide a dominating front line[/B]. Seikaly had learned to make the ten foot jumper, and also a nice finger roll to go along with his dunks. He would help Syracuse win the Big East Championship, before they moved on to the NCAA tournament.

Drafted #9 by the Miami Heat in 1988 he was a solid center for them for 11 years. GOSU

[B]with Coleman and Seikaly 87-88  26-9, Conf. 11-5 Big East Champion

86-87  28-7     “      12 - 4

31-7 lost to Indiana in NCAA Championship Final[/B] GOSU :)
