Williams just had stunning athleticism. It was just easy for him. The passes he could make, wow.Young crew here.
Ray Williams. I saw him live. Really a treat.
Yeah, I didn’t include McHale because he was a bit before my time, but fantastic player no doubt, perhaps even the best Gopher player ever.Yes! That is almost exactly my order...Breuer, McHale, Jackson, Burton, Murphy, and Tucker
February 1994 at home when we took down Indiana and Bobby Knight 106 to 56 was the most amazing athletic event I will ever see in person. I get that it’s 30 years later but when people say that The Barn keeps us from being competitive in basketball, I still call bullshit right or wrong after remembering the atmosphere that night and pretty much any night back in those days.Voshon. I had season tickets during his run and it was overall fantastic with some really epic games and wins in The Barn. I have soft spots for a lot of other players through the years, but none will ever pass my affinity for. Lenard.
That was THE team right there. Even the '97 final four team wouldn't have stood a chance. You had the national player of the year and a future NBA top 50 of all-time with two of the smartest guards you'll ever see. It's a shame the younger folks on the board never got to experience that kind of talent in the Barn.Williams just had stunning athleticism. It was just easy for him. The passes he could make, wow.
The 76-77 team (24-3) should have been the national champions that year. Thompson, McHale, Williams, Lockhart, Saunders, Winey as the core. Unreal. Three of the greatest Gophers of all times on one squad. That team could have had Olberding as a junior as well were it not for the departure of Mussy and NCAA issues.
Newbern was my favorite as a teen and is 1B to Willie being 1A.Randy Carter and Melvin Newburn
