Corley could shoot and sky. In today’s game  he’d be a 3 with a great first step. The game  where he beat Bialosuknia’s record was kind of a crime. They were playing a bad New Hampshire team. Corley needed over 20, actually 24 I think, points in a pretty short time to break the record. His coach, Burr Carlson said he knew Corley could beat the record, a real joke under the circumstances, and he was fed the ball over and over again down the stretch when he probably should have been out of the game. I liked his game a lot, but that was a purposeful decision by his coach to let him break the record.

Wes was my year and while Ray Allen was a terrific shooter and easily a better pro than Wes, nobody in UConn history was close to him as a pure college  shooter. He was also  one of the top foul shooters in the country. He had to play freshman ball and he was something like a crazy 98 or 99 of 101 and maybe his senior year he had a FT streak I think in the high 30s. His overall records were over a 3,year career in a shorter schedule than  today by several games. No conference tournament and they never went far in post season when he was there.
