Was at the game when Clark hit 50, and it was an amazing effort

Yeah hard to believe DrJ's highest scoring game at UMass was 37 particularly when he averaged 26 for his career. 52 double doubles in 53 games had only 9 rebounds in final game of career. Grayson gave him al, he could handle in games against HC. Agreed. He had to rebound a ton at UMass (averaged over 20 a game) and IMHO he was better offensively as a pro (especially ABA but also NBA) than in his two-year college varsity career. Also IMHO he was one of those pretty rare athletes who was better and better as he moved up (high school, college, pros) in competition.

Here is a link to a story and attached video of Springfield College beating UMass and Dr. J, in 1971..I taught and coached with Judd Hunt, #42 for Springfield for about 35 years...It has a nice little article with it...Dr. J had 18 in the game, maybe one of his lowest point total at UMass.. www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth-oai:w37639311Springfield had some good teams around that time as HC won by only 2 in 68-69, and only 1 point in 69-70, before winning by 11 in 70-71 HC won by 5 in 71-72, my freshman year, when three of us hitch-hiked to Springfield in Arctic weather for the game. In 1970 Denis Clark set aSpringfield College record scoring 50 points against HC. Dana Anderson from my hometown was a big star for those Springfield teams and fortunately I did not have to see him beat HC as I saw him beat my HS team so many times. maybe hchoops can help... iirc was there a Moose Stronzich who played frosh ball at HC but left for Springfield, coached by Jim Calhoun, in the mid 60's?

Calhoun was a player at AIC. I'm 100% sure his first* high school jobs were at Westport (Mass) and Dedham. Northeastern hired him from Dedham.
*and I would have been wrong. His first job was in Old Lyme, CT, then Wesport. Graduated from Almost in College in 1968.
Springfield and Assumption were, of course, regular opponents; and road games to those places were no picnic. Stonehill and St. Michael's were often season openers. Remember, most if not all of the NEC teams were D2 (called College Division then) at the time. Hell, Northeastern in the 60s was too.

Hoops agree that great college players don't always translate to great pros but would Young is doing in that conference is special, being compared to Steph Curry, think it's a good comparison about the same size, great ball handler, and unlimited range. Was trying to think of others who had such tremendous impact as newcomer and first one who came to mind was Pistol Pete. His college stats truly amazing averaged 44 points a game for career, hard to fathom that anyone could average taking 38 shots a game.

Possum, as far as Pistol Pete and 38 shots, always helps when Dad is the coach and groomed you since you were a tyke and the team’s offense revolves around you.

Their meaning, no doubt, is that he compiled an exceptionally good record as Siena's head coach. He inherited a disaster (6-24 record the prior year) and managed to win 112 games (almost 70%) over the next five years. Won the MAAC regular season and the MAAC tournament each of his last three years, and also won two NCAA tournament games. I don't particularly like him, and like his wife even less, but his record at Siena was certainly distinguished in terms of performance.

Winning performance, yes. Other kinds, doubtful.

Isn't his wife the patron Saint for those coping with anger management issues?

Perhaps that is because she has learned to cope with them and is now a role model for others who from time to time experience near psychopathic rage.

Previously played Holy Cross OOC opponent Rhode Island has cracked the top 25 polls for the first time since early last season. They today are #23 in the Coach's and #24 in AP Polls. URI is #10 in the RPI ratings having played the 3rd strongest OOC schedule (Holy Cross is their only OOC opponent presently without a winning record) in the nation. Rhody has won all eleven of its home games this season and is currently on a ten game winning streak (last loss was December 6th at RPI #26 Alabama). URI has beaten its last fifteen A-10 conference opponents going back to the preceding season.

Today: Bucknell 44 @ BU 32 (Halftime) Bucknell is really good and with a long bench!
Had to laugh though when the announcer (not Mo C.) referred to my favorite official as "Bruce McCarthy" when he was talking to Bucknell coach Nathan Davis! !
Someone tell him his name is Bill McCarthy!
