Duncan
Hughes
Dabbs
Lets give these three some love.
The trio that gave RU it's best season since the 70's and almost got us to the second round. But Dabbs is on my list forever (see below)
Fun facts about the last NCAA game we played in:
1. Hughes and Duncan each had 20 points. Hughes had a double double but shot only 39 percent from the floor, while Duncan had 5 turnovers.
2. We were FIFTEEN OF SIXTEEEN from the charity stripe. Only miss came from Chuck Weiler (a skinny yet okay center during the Wenzel years. He struggled with asthma.).
3. We only shot 38 percent from the floor and A. State 54 percent. Only way we stayed in the game was outrebounding 37-29 (and 18 to 8 on the offensive glass).
4. A State's huge center Ike Austin had a huge game with 25 points and 8 rebounds (albeit with five turnovers), 8.7 points over his season average. Before the game, Brent Dabbs publicly trash talked how he was going to outplay Austin. Obviously this did not come to pass, and Dabbs put up a pedestrian 12 points and 5 boards. Way to motivate the opposition Brent!
