dont mean to swerve the thread, but when I saw the name Popeye Jones, you betcha!!! I can still remember Murray St being a 16 seed in whatever region they were in, and they drew regional nr 1 seed Michigan State... and sent the darn game to overtime... Man, oh man, Popeye was a beast in that game - something like 35 or so points and maybe 12 rebounds or so... as a sophomore, he tore into the Spartans and never let up... great game...)
