Big East Greats Through The Years

[Huskybass]

Its been a great ride for about 30 years, especially given UConn's success since 1990. What opposing players in the conference do you remember as being "great" while at the collegiate level? A few that come to mind:

Lawrence Moten, John Wallace, AI, Chris Mullin, Patrick Ewing, Kerry Kittles, Malik Sealy, Troy Murphy...

 

[JSB60]

Walter Berry, Alonzo Mourning, Charles Smith (both Pitt and Georgetown ones), Derrick Coleman, Gerry McNamara, Eric Murdock, Michael Adams, Terry Dehere, Ed Pinckney, Otis Thorpe

Roy Hibbert

Oddly enough, other than the G-town big men and Derrick Coleman, the ones that come to mind for me are John Garris and Dana Barros. And Preston Shumpert. Actually, Shumpert's girlfriend. I remember she was hot, and he used to blow kisses to her after making a jumper. And that Melo kid. He was pretty good, too.
