OT: Sports trivia. Part three.
- Thread starter skysdad
- Start date
I specified a white American. So no Bogut. Walton is also incorrect - the timeframe is right, however. It was just a few years after Walton.
Shawn Bradley! What a great guess. I remember that he went #2 behind Chris Webber. I thought that Bradley would be much better than he was
I googled the answer. It seems impossible, but it's coming back to me: Kent Benson in 1977. He was the plodding, efficient Center on the Indiana perfect 32-0 record team in1976.
Benson was also involved in a pathetic fight with Kareem Abdul Jabbar who was reputed to be a karate expert. Kareem responded to Benson's physical play with a flurry of grade school slaps.
Slaps ? Must be a different one then I remember. Benson knocked the wind out of Kareem with a cheap **** elbow to the gut.
After catching his wind Kareem responded with a cheap shot punch that floored Benson. If I recall correctly Kareem broke both his own hand and Benson's jaw with that punch.
Amazing how my memory betrayed me. Exactly as dtodd said. Elbow to the gut and cheashot retaliation by Kareem. Broken hand and jaw
Sorry, guys. I'm not very good at visiting the site on a regular basis. Kent Benson is the correct answer.
Who was the last school that Virginia beat, with a higher seed, in the NCAA Tournament?
Who was the last school that Virginia beat, with a higher seed, in the NCAA Tournament?
He's also partly responsible for why Larry Bird transferred from Indiana. Feeling overwhelmed by the size of the community, and the size of the school was certainly a part of it. But Benson also gave Bird a lot of flak, which quickly got old and tiresome.
Sorry for rambling about the question before. This one is just tough. Virginia either wins the championship, loses to umbc in the first round or loses to a lower seeded Michigan State
I'll give it a shot and skip me anytime. Who is the famous play-by-play man who called just about every sport and his catchphrase was " Oh My" I remember him best for calling Wimbledon.
Rick Sutcliffe has a great season in the 80s split between both leagues but I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for....
Maybe...
Maybe...
This was the correct answer. Looks like the board has moved on to another question, however. UVA beat Kansas in the Sweet 16 in 1995.
Rick Sutcliffe? He was traded from Cleveland to the Cubs in 1984 I think. Probably not the answer. He didn't do much for Cleveland, but it's a guess
That's CC Sabathia. I've read this several times, but don't seem to remember
NC State had a senior guard in 1998 who made 10 threes to beat UNC also named CC . What is his last name?
CC Harrison actually was 7 of 7 on 3 pointers and State won 95-91 in overtime. UNC Coach Guthridge was too stubborn to change the defense enough. Harrison improved vastly at State, and had a long career overseas
Thanks, bobcrane. Ten did seem like too many. If I coached a player who was 7 for 7,. I would insist that he shoot #8. bobcrane is up
