FR YEAR
.lost to GT led by Kenny Anderson and Denis Scott. Damn good team who made it to the final four b/f losing to a pretty good UNLV team who won it all. We were a 5 seed, they were a 4. Shaq put up 19 and 14. Shot 5/10 from field and 9/12 from FT line.
Chris Jackson was sick that game and had only 13 pts on 5 for 15 shooting. Foul trouble didnt hurt, we played with 6 fouls in SEC play that yr and had lots of guys get 4 early. We lost by 3, but were up by 19 to start the game. Chris Jackson fouled out with 2min to go.

SOPH
-lost to UcONN in 1st rd. They would go on to lose to NC Duke. Shaq was 11/22 with 27pts and 16 reb. he was 5/6 from FT line. Nobody else scored more than 7 pts. Shaq had not played for 2 weeks from a hairline fracture in his knee--he missed the sec tourney. Shaq got his 4th foul with 11min to go in game, though. we shot 32% from the field. 23% if you exclude shaq's 9 dunks. TJ Pugh, Mike Hansen, Vernel Singleton, Shawn Griggs, Harold Boudreaux were not a collection of studs.

JR
-lost to Calbert Cheaney and Alan Hendersons Indiana in 2nd round. They were a 2 seed, we were a 7-seed. Shaq had 38 and 12. was 12/18 from the field and 12/12 fromt he line! Indiana lost to NC Duke in final four.
