Message: [QUOTE="shakes65, post: 2181528, member: 581"] Was a contemporary of Toby at Uconn and well remember the 64-65 year which was Wes' first and Toby's finale. Game against St. Joe's was a great game as Hawks were ranked in top five and were playing NCAA regional game in Palestra. Had them at the half but fell 69-61 as Matty Guokas and Cliff Anderson were too strong for us and Wes did not have his shot. Toby, however, grabbed 29 boards and Philly press likened him to Philadelphia Warriors great Neil Johnson. Toby was a classic post player in his day, guarded the middle, and developed a left handed hook shot to go along with his right handed shot which made him particularly effective. Superb player on an outstanding team. Was a fun-loving guy who, like Wes, made for great memories for many of us hoop fans. God bless you Toby. R.I.P. [/QUOTE]
