    GCU just getting out talented in this game. Maryland is toying with them.

    Bryce Drew still looks like Fred Savage.

    It’s pretty cool to have St. John’s back in the tournament, I remember watching Chris Mullin playing for one of my all time favorite coaches Leo Carnesecca. Can’t believe Georgetown has been so crappy for a while now. But I digress

    Those were some great teams, if I recall correctly I believe players had to stay 3 years before going pro. I still love college hoops but the one and done is not something I favor

    Big East
    Big 10
    ACC
    SWC
    Big 8
    SEC
    PAC 10

    Those were simpler times.

    Was the PAC 10 back then

    the Atlantic 10, metro, and WAC were also somewhat dangerous for mid major conferences.

    Don’t forget Pitt!

    Charles Smith
    Demetrius Gore
    Jerome Lane
    Curtis Aiken
    Sean Miller (xavier coach)
    Rod Brookin

    That was a good team in the mid to late 80’s.

    The SWC was a terrible basketball conference in its last few years.

    The Nolan Richardson Hogs vs Tom Penders Horns were some serious up and down the court battles. I was there for 'em.

    I don't remember anyone else in the conference, teams or players

    After the hogs left, and pat foster left and was replaced by alvin brooks, the swc was terrible. Texas wasn’t anything special those last few years.
