Stephenson and Larry Johnson were a tough duo for Rhody back then. Stephenson was an undersized center who played much bigger than his height. He was listed at 6'6" but was probably no more than 6'3". Rhody was our arch rival in those days.First, UConn's YC basketball years were 1946-47 through 1976-77.
If you're talking best YC opposing players, I would suggest:
Dr. J (UMass)
Steve Chubin (Rhody)
Art Stephenson (Rhody)
Sly Williams (Rhody)
Skip Chappelle (Maine)
Clyde Lord (Vermont)
If you're talking any opponent played in the YC years, here's a possible Top Ten from just the 50's and 60's.
Elgin Baylor (Seattle)
Tom Heinsohn (HC)
Bill Bradley (Princeton)
Jeff Mullins (Duke)
Tom Sanders (NYU)
Vinnie Cohen (Syracuse)
Ed Conlin (Fordham)
Hal Lear (Temple)
Guy Rodgers (Temple)
Matt Goukas (St. Joe's)
Not to forget a kid who played for UMass with Dr. J while I was a UConn student. Rick Pitino.
