Austin Carr wasn't really that good was he...

 

[BDIrish4ever]

How did we not win a National Title with Austin Carr putting up these kind of numbers??

Mattmags,
Austin Carr was chosen by ESPN as the 22nd greatest college basketball players. ESPN - 25 Greatest Players In College Basketball - Men's College Basketball
Carr was recently inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame, as you may know.
Also consider that he only had three years of varsity basketball, since freshmen then could not play and that there was no 3 pt shot. Some who saw the ND-Ohio tourney game, when he got a record 61 pts, have projected that with a 3 pt shot, he would have scored 70-75 pts.

Heard that on cbs.com or cbssports.com you could pick your game and watch all the way through on the 'puter. Another way of watching your choice w/o the cutaways.

You can do that. We had 4 tv's going in my apartment back at school. We had 3 tv's hooked up to 3 laptops and one normal tv set up so we could watch all the games live.

 

[IrishGrizz]

Now, thats what I call having your priorities straight!

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

haha yeah but that was on thursday and I had an exam friday morning.
But is was still the best idea my roommate and I ever had.

 

[IrishGrizz]

So, how did it go?

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

I think good. It was only in my Human Growth, Development and Motor Learing class, which is an pretty easy class. I can't wait to have a party at our place and watch basketball next weekend.
