Man, Clyde Vaughn was good....
One of the few things I remember detail wise about Dr Roy was a comment he made about Charles Smith.....Pitt was maybe 2 weeks or less practicing w Freshman Smith and Chipman was asked if Smith would start....
He answered straightaway:
If Smith can’t start for this team....we’ll win the National Championship!

From the New York Times
"When I came here nearly every player was being paid," [Paul] Evans said. He said that one of his first orders of business was to confronted a core of 16 boosters over lunch one afternoon. He told them to minimize their contact with the program.
He said he also confronted his assistants and told them to stop questionable dealings that could compromise the program. Despite that, Evans said he learned only recently that someone affiliated with the school had just finished repaying a payment a booster had made to a former athlete.
"It just goes on and on," Evans lamented.
I agree.
The 1988 team is the most frustrating in our history to me, more than 2009 Scottie Reynolds loss even, because of how much they under performed by losing in the second round. We had more talent than Kansas or Oklahoma. I actually think Arizona might have been the most talented team that year in terms of quality depth, though at least they made the final four: Sean Elliot, Tom Tolbert, Anthony Cook, Steve Kerr, Craig McMillan, Jud Buceheler. Weird year. Three Georgetown fist fights in one season (two against Pitt, one against Providence, never seemed to find their rhythm and also lost in the round of 32.)
