Message: [QUOTE="MSOrange, post: 5519314, member: 630"] 1991 was the first year since I really began to follow the team during the Pearl years that I looked at the roster going into the season and thought to myself "Wow this might be the year that we aren't that good." We had Dave Johnson and a still developing Red Autry, but really needed someone else to step up. You couldn't see every game on tv in those days if you weren't in CNY, so the first game I saw was vs Fla State in the Big East-ACC challenge. I knew Anthony Harris was supposed to be our most heralded freshman, but I couldn't believe what I was seeing with Lawrence Moten. I didn't even know who he was! But he ended up with 18 pts and 7 boards in that win in what became his typical night. I'm not sure Lawrence has gotten the credit he really deserves for getting us through what could have really been a downturn of the program with the NCAA issues, along with John Wallace. Just very shocking and sad news. RIP Lawrence. [/QUOTE]
