Derek Anderson

It’s crazy to think he could have played in the NCAA tournament 3 months after tearing his ACL.

The worse tease was when Pitino put him in to shoot technical free throws.

I was like, can you please just play him in the 5 minute overtime period ?

Before anyone says that was just basketball fodder, he was playing in the senior barnstorming tour in the following weeks after.

My Dad and uncle swore the mob was involved in DA not playing.

It is amazing that he played less than half the game throughout his first year here. Same for Ron Mercer.

Cadaver graft. It's a technique they don't use anymore because the short term recovery is almost always offset by a second injury, which also happened to Derek.

It was a PR move to not play him.

Must have been involved with Nazr going 0-6 from the FT stripe in the final game too.
