Winsome Frazier is my favorite State player, any sport, any era, loved that guy. Always be working.

I'd settle for just his shoulders to stick in the paint to give the opponent a wall they couldn't go through.

It would be nice to have Eric Dampier's presence in the paint.

Agreed. A 16 year NBA vet who was a lottery pick coming out of college would be noce to have.

Let's also wish we had Michael Jordan's presence on the oerimeter while we are at it.

No way we were going to lose when Richard Williams comes with a motivational quote that strong.

Richard also told Howland that Howland was now seeing what the atmosphere in the Hump "could" be like.

Russell Walters, AKA Big Country, or Brandon Vincent would take us to a level of toughness this team cannot achieve. We need more physicality. That said, I still firmly believe we will make the NCAA tourney.

It's a different game these days. Those guys would stay in foul trouble in this sissy era of college basketball. It's a damn shame.

Definitely agree with you on Walters, that's just a by gone era. Though I'd love to have a RW on the bench or walking on just to show the guys in practice a whole other level of toughness.

But I believe Vincent could still be very special on most teams in today's game. He'd probably hafta play 10-15lb lighter, but with his nimbleness on the press and motor on the inside with floor spread out he'd be a holy terror rebounding whether getting putbacks or kickouts to start fast breaks. And could play spurts on D guarding the 2-5 spots. Kinda see him in today's game the way you see a Draymond Green without the being 95% crazy, and I'm talking more the Green from 2-3 yr ago when I actually watched a little.

Today, Nolan Richardson's Arkansas teams would have no one left to play after the first half, because they would all be fouled out.*

Holman's block on a fast break (I think) with about a minute to go

To Arics credit, he swatted 4 shots last night. That probably would have gone in

May have been the play of the game at that point. They had quickly cut it to 8 from 15, if memory serves, and that layup would have certainly made my sphincter squirm.
