Ten rival favorite BE players of last ten years

[Su Grad Wannabe]

Thought this would be cool to see everyones favorite players of rival teams.

Uconn- Rudy Gay (always liked him in college and even more so in the NBA)

g'town- Roy Hibbert (class act)

Louisville-Earl Clark (Stud)

Marquette- D-Wade (Of Course)

Pitt- Dejuan Blair (Always tough when we played him)

Villanova- Kyle Lowry (Smooth)

West Virginia- Joe Alexander (Loved watching him play in college)

St. Johns- Anthony Mason Jr (Played hard for St.Johns every night)

Notre Damn- Matt Carroll (flat out shoot it)

Cincy- Jason Maxiell (Beast)


Honorable mention

Jeremy Hazell-Seton hall

Quincy Douby- Ratgers


And last but not least CUSE'- Meloooo (The real Melo)

 

[SoBeCuse]

Good list. I liked all of those guys as well. I'll add Terrence Williams, Sam Young, and Dante Cunningham, though.

 

[skurey]

I hate every Big East player not on Syracuse

Good list. I will add Jeff Green, Gilbert Brown, Lazar Heyward, Jerel McNeal, Jawanza Poland...

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Ben Gordon. One of the few that I have learned to appreciate.

 

[Rocco]

Shouldn't the title be renamed "ten rival HATED BE players..."

I honestly hate everyone at the time during their game against SU.

Fun list...

while more recent, Kevin Jones of WVU developed into a great player for Huggins and carried them all last year. really liked watching him play this year

Don't believe D. Wade was a BE player. Also, you should have noted that Mason, Jr. brought it every night FOR 7 YEARS. . I loved to hate Krauser at Pitt. Never wanted him taking the last shot against us. He was money with the game on the line.

[SWFLCUSE]

I would probably add Wilson Chandler and Rudy Gay to the list as well

 

[EastCoast2]

Kemba Walker
Terrence Williams - guy was just fun to watch
USF - Dominique Jones

 

[Guy Fawkes]

My odd starting 5 plus six man for BE players I enjoyed watching:
gtown - Chris wright - pg
WVU - Mike Gansey - g
Marq- Wesley Matthews - g
Prov - Ryan Gomes - F
bc - Craig smith - F -

Six man
UConn- Rasard Anderson - g

Can I list a coach? Jay Wright is a class act. Heck, he called timeout when we had an injured player on the court during a game a few years back. He let his own kids wear SU t-shirts.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Kemba Walker
Terrence Williams - guy was just fun to watch
USF - Dominique Jones

Good call on Jones. Kemba and TWill were just GREAT players.

 

[DeGrozz]

Pittsnogle and K. Jones from WVU

I don't know why, but I've always liked (or disliked the least?) WVU.

 

[EastCoast2]

Marshon Brooks, Providence

 

[EastCoast2]

Jeremy Hazell was fun to watch, as long as he wasn't making 30 footers against SU

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

I always really liked that Krauser kid from Pittsburgh. Just seemed like a good egg...

 

[EastCoast2]

Levance Fields for beating Duke

 

[wfschrec]

Constantine Popa FTW!

Correct. Marquette joined in 2005.

Sarcasm meter is off the charts right now

I liked Gorgui Dieng from UL last year...wish we traded him for Fab.

True

Hated playing against him but Emeka Okafor was hard not to like. Model student-athlete who graduated in 3 years with honors. He was alright at basketball.

Terrence Williams and Mike Gansey stick out from the aforementioned players for me, Williams just did everything and could have a huge impact on a game without scoring 10 points. Gansey was the heart and soul for Beilein's (another guy who was hard not to like) first really competitive team, the program has ridden that wave to another level in the last 8 years or so. WV's 111-105 2 OT upset of Wake Forest in the second round that year was one of the more enjoyable tournament games in recent memory.
