Thanks to this group. What are your memories?

Think of everything this group did for the program. I include Taphorn and Lumpkin. And although they have one more year, Law and Lumpkin are attached for me too. There are some great moments they brought us.

One of my strong images of BMac may have developed this week. BMac may not have gone out the way he wanted, but he was a fighter to the end. As a fan, I can't ask for anything else, and that's a quality that many, many have not possessed at NU.

This group brought us the crying kid. A $120 million monument to them goes up to them next year.

Skelly may not have been my favorite, but he was a class kid who was really nice to some people I know.

Those are just a few for me. Anybody else?

Riding a bicycle around Salt Lake City on a Thursday morning and shouting "Go 'Cats" at everyone in purple. Yep ... I was that weirdo.

There are a lot of good memories with this group. For the seniors -

Mac - the floaters in the lane, the assists, the competitive spirit
Lindsey - the consistent scoring during his junior season
Skelly - throwdown dunks and high energy

Over all else, of course - The Dance. They got it done!

Obviously the dance is the biggest memory. Love watching everyone's reactions when the eighth seed in Salt Lake City is announced.

I don't have specific memories for any of them, but I think of the leap Lindsey made between his sophomore and junior years (which we as fans will extrapolate to every Wildcat for the rest of time - "remember Lindsey before his junior year?") is memorable. B-Mac's floaters, of course, but also just the fact that NU had a really great point guard - maybe the best in school history. As for Skelly, I've always thought he would be soooo hated if he played for Duke. He just looks like the guy we wouldn't be able to stand, but he's ours, and by all accounts he's a good dude. I loved the brief flashes (especially last year) that he showed when his energy and talent would just take over a game. If he could have harnessed that into 30 minutes a night, he'd be an all-timer.

Hanging with Darnell Autry in a bar in Salt Lake City after a ‘Cats win on a warm Thursday evening because, why not?

Bryant - Those games where he would get on a roll down the stretch, and almost will the team to some wins. Obviously, the dimes and floaters in the lane.

Scottie - His scoring and big plays during the run to the tournament last year. When he’s rolling, the 3’s look so smooth.

Gavin - This was my guy! I first saw him play as a junior in high school, was totally stoked when he committed the following summer, and I went to as many of his senior year high school games (including 2 against current football ‘Cat, Ben Oxley) as I could. He drove us nuts sometimes, but brought so much energy off the bench, and he drilled those 2 big 3’s vs. Rutgers last year that really sealed the win.

I appreciate all of these guys and will miss seeing them playing for the ‘Cats.

Mac floaters. Enough said!
