mcneil (who had 9)

kris joseph collected 8 tournament wins

cooney is the only su player to play in 2 final fours and finished with 9

but the leader is brandon triche, with 10

EDIT: thanks to joc44 & orangedw who point out that dc & stevie each grabbed 11 wins

let me know if i left anyone out

fwiw, frank howard is now 5-1 with games yet to play & one more season as well

Wouldn’t McNeil have had 9? 1 in 2001, 6 in 2003, and 2 in 2004?

Derrick Coleman and Stevie Thompson have 11? 5 in 87, 1 in 88, 3 in 89, and 2 in 90.

Fair with nine I think?

Another reason that Vermont loss sucked! A lot of guys lost a deserved shot at the record books.

Of all the post-2003 losses I think that is still the worst. Maybe 2012 but at least that was in the elite 8. That 05 team was very good and I still think could have made a run.
 
it would be even crazier if the much maligned frank howard ended up the career leader

He would pass the much maligned Brandon Triche. People forget how much of our fan base hammered that guy because of the subsequent merciless pounding of Cooney and then up another notch for Howard.
 
Triche's teams went 10-4 in NCAAT play. He averaged 10.3 points in those games.
 
Cooney RS-3
rFr- 4
Soph- 1
Junior-0
Senior-4

Cooney saw 12 NCAAT wins while he was a member of the team.

i'm only counting games in which they actually played
 
Wallace, Sims and Hill all won 8 as well

Todd Burgan with 8 as well. I had to google to
see if he played in the ‘95 first round win. He got 5 minutes.

I like that Frank stat. He's sneaking up on us. He'll be remembered positively by the fans. Who would have imagined that just a year before?

Man, this just reminds me of how often we have guards that start way too many games in their careers, and play heavy minutes, because we recruit for the zone. :) We got recruiting issues at the guard position!

It makes me think if Carey stays more than 2 years, the fan base is likely to burn him at the stake.
 
2 of the 3 I really liked and thought their critics were nuts.
Triche deserved no criticism.
He split PT with a deep rotation till his Senior year.

Cooney played superstar minutes. That is on the coaching staff. Cooney shouldn’t have played those minutes.

Howard’s past problems were legitimately bad but JB bet on him and won.

Triche deserved nothing. He was a 3 Star kid who was consistent in his role.

I hope he does, but I also hope he's up by 2 on the next guy. Otherwise he deserves the Roger Maris asterisk for Wednesday's game.
