Let the countdown begin.

The Silver Haired Whacko. Today is to him at #9.

9 consecutive tournaments from 84-85 to 92-93
Only losing in the first round twice in those runs and making it to at least the regional semi-final 4 times.

8-The number of times GT has been ranked in the final end of year rankings with the highest of 6. Mr. Dalrymple will represent that number as he was on both teams that finished 6th and I started the countdown after the 45th day.

 

[Peacone36]

I missed James Forrest at 34 (embarrassing) So I chose to use him at #7 (3+4=7, its a stretch but I don't care)

Man I had high expectations of Glover. That was back when, if you were Mr. GA basketball, you almost had to come to GT.

18ppg as a frosh. At one point we could have had he and Marbury in the fold with Harpring.

Championship.

It certainly was for me! Thanks OP.

Also, do yourselves a favor ...


There's also a highlight package from that heavyweight (yes, heavyweight) matchup between Marbury and Iverson in MSG that year. Man those were the days.

Shout-out to Tony Akin too, btw. He gets forgotten a bit but was a really good player in that GTPG line too. Have a pretty funny story about him in my International Business class too once the statue of NCAA limitations runs out.

Fun fact. Akins is the only PG to start all four years at GT. 122 games 13.6 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 4.6 APG 1.4 spg

Mark Price didn't? I thought he held the record for career starts at 126?

 

[Peacone36]

I was reading something on Akins last week (who knows where it was now) that said TA is the only player to do so? Could be bad info.

Akins was definitely a Day 1 starter. I've got no idea if Price was, but I know he has the career record for starts, possibly because of more postseason play.

 

[Peacone36]

According to basketball reference Price did start all 126 of his games. Must have been bad information. So it appears you cant believe everything you read on the internet.
