Reusse: Gophers basketball jerseys that need retirement: Clark, Burton, Breuer

[BleedGopher]

per Patrick +:

Gophers basketball jerseys that need retirement:

Archie Clark, No. 21 (1963-66): He was a tremendous second wheel to Lou Hudson, then averaged 24.5 points per game as a senior when Hudson broke his shooting hand.

Willie Burton, No. 34 (1986-90): Clem Haskins’ first star and part of my all-time starting five for Gophers. Returned to U to get a degree, and a jersey ceremony is sure to follow.

Randy Breuer, No. 45 (1979-83): The 7-foot-2 Breuer has his name all over Gophers’ career lists. Every bit the college big man as was Kevin McHale.

Nice write-up on Archie Clark.

Anyone know the rest of Reusse's starting five?

This absolutely should be done now and should have been done already

These three guys are totally deserving. I know we had a whole thread about Breuer and his degree
but retire his number already. There just should be no argument for any of these three guys not to have their jerseys retired if you are going to retire the previous people, then these guys deserve to be there as well!

That was the thread where some genius called him "just an average player".

Yep. Totally disrespected the great and productive career Breu had.
