OT: SCSU holding their own in the Carrier Dome

[awfuldan]

The Southern Connecticut State University Owls, coached by Scott Burrell, are playing at Syracuse live on ACC/ESPN right now. Exhibition game.

Owls led by 2 at half. Down 8 now but there is a lot of basketball left to go.

"Scott Burrell"

Liked your post for that. Man o man he was fun to watch. Burrell was just a tremendous athlete. You could see his skill set was limited coming in, and the guy just used his other-worldly athleticism to be effective. If he had played exclusively basketball from a very young age, hard to imagine how high his ceiling would have been.

You left out the best part. He stole the ball from Rogers when he landed and Rogers is about 6’6””.

I remember that... Had courtside seats with my boys Gil and Kevin (RIP - he was the big black guy that drove the transit bus around campus as a part time gig... miss the gentle giant as we call him) in Minnesota... Nice long distance drive from Storrs to Minneapolis for the first 2 rounds of the NCAA Tourney that year... Good times... I remember nobody gave us a chance against LSU because of Shaq Diesel... He was in foul trouble the whole game pretty much... We played like a well oiled machine.. then 2 nights later, in front of thousands of Xavier fans, we shut Xavier down (Brian Grant was on that team)... Good times...

The best dunk I've ever seen.

JC used a 1-3-1 zone and completely shut down Shaq in Minnesota. NCAA first round.
