Sentimental Favorite BU Player

My most sentimental players are
1. Chris Mroz because god just made him to d*** small:(

2. Cameron Rigby because god made him just so ugly:eek: (but he did kick Tractor Trailer's as_ as a freshman)8)
 
Zack Andrews
I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the past heroes of BU basketball

But seeing ZA during warm ups throw down an INSANE windmill dunk (Amckillip knows what i'm talking about).
Not to mention he was one of the nicest, funniest, guys i've ever met.
He also would hang out at Haussler and shoot around with people (myself included) randomly.
Troubled past as well that he overcame which is a pretty good story

great guy

Joe Allen, a powerful player but a gentle man

Right after Joe Allen, how about Greg Smith who played center against some of the best centers in the country at the time though he only stood about 6'5"!! And speaking of undersized guys that we love because they overachieved...how bout Bobby Ford? At 6'4" he played the hybrid "4" spot frequently, back during an era when PFs were all 6'7"...(Taylor Brown reminds me of Ford a little):)

Greg Smith was a favorite of mine also, but I'll never forget the ill advised jump shop he took against Louisville with a 3 point lead at the fieldhouse. Of course he wasn't the one who called time out with a 3 point lead and the ball, just before that shot.

I remember that play also...a heartbreaker!!let me tack on Henry Thomas since we're talking about undersized BU icons....he wasn't much bigger than Frankie.
 
Was that the 1974 Louisville game? If so, as I remember it was Doug Shank who took the bad shot by driving down the lane and had his shot rejected resulting in a layup at the other end. It took me a week to recover from that game. My nominee is Dave Klobucher. He was an important part of that team who did the dirty work. Dave should be in the BU Hall of Fame. He also had a good Baseball career at BU!!

Greg Smith and Doug Shank missed shots at the end in that game and I think Junior Bridgeman was the hero for Louisville...heartbreaker!!

I don't remember who their hero was, but it probably was JB as he was quite a ballplayer. I do remember Greg always had a good turn a round jump shop from the baseline. Doug's play was one where he drove the lane and had no where to go. My question has always been, why call timeout with a 3 point lead and only 30 some seconds to go? There was no shot clock at that time.

You're still haunted, aren't you? :lol:

Louisville did that a lot to us all back then;)

And I'm not the only one. If calling time-out with a 3 point lead and the ball with no shot clock and less a minute to play made sense I wouldn't still be haunted.
 
A few come to mind....Mark Dohner, Jimmy Curruthers, Rick Malnati, Eric Duhart...and I don't think anyone has mentioned David Thirdkill!!
 
I remember

I remember

I remember a player in the 70's who had some nights against UNLV where he appeared unstoppable. This players name is Roger Phegley. I also appreciated Bobby Humbles.

Another undersized guy who played bigs was Rosevelt Davidson. But then again so did Matt Salley. When Davidson played that was the dark era for Versace. Between Anderson and Hawkins.

RD was one of the most aggressive 6'4 players the Braves ever had! :wink:
 
I worked with the team when Rosie played- if he had been 6'9- he would have had a great NBA career- truly a warrior and one of the nicest guys you ever would meet...
