per FSN:
Kevin McHale's picture hangs in the rafters of Williams Arena, his No. 44 long since retired. McHale went on to a Hall of Fame career in the NBA, but not until first leaving his mark on the University of Minnesota's basketball program.
Gophers senior Andre Hollins will almost assuredly surpass McHale -- as well as former Minnesota forward Sam Jacobson â for fourth place on the program's all-time scoring list Wednesday night against Northwestern. Hollins' 1,703 career points are just one point behind McHale and six behind Jacobson. That's not to say that Hollins is a better player than either McHale or Jacobson, but it does go to show the type of impact the Memphis native has had during his impressive Gophers career -- one that's nearing an end.
Including Wednesday, Hollins and the rest of his fellow seniors have just five regular-season games remaining in their college careers. They'll also play in the Big Ten tournament and possibly another postseason tournament, be in NCAA or NIT. This chapter of Hollins' basketball career is quickly coming to a close, and he's playing like someone who doesn't want it to end.
"This is my last chance to play college basketball at Minnesota," Hollins said. "I want to go out a winner. I'm just giving it my all, mentally and physically, and as a leader, trying to give the team everything I have."
