My personal view is the top five should be Maurice Lucas, Dwayne Wade, Butch Lee, Bo Ellis and Jim Chones.<BR/><BR/>Lucas was essential on the 1974 Final Four team and a 14 year pro. Wade, Butch and Bo got us in the Final Four and the Butch and Bo show won it. Jim Chones was a thoroughbread. If he had not left, there would be at least one more national championship banner hanging in the Bradley Center<BR/><BR/>Clearly, the next five would be Glenn Rivers, Jerome Whitehead, Earl Tatum, Lloyd Walton and George Thompson. All were great and Earl was a long-time LA Laker. Jerome was special and brought home a national title with Butch and Bo and in virtually any other college would have been in the Top 5. But this is Marquette and the choice of the Top 10 is so close it is ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>If I see Bernard Toone in the Top 25, I'll lose my lunch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-67560468777049530292008-01-02T18:48:00.000-06:002008-01-02T18:48:00.000-06:00If I remember correctly, McCaskill was NOT a start...If I remember correctly, McCaskill was NOT a starter on the 1994 sweet sixteen team - that would have been Eford, Key, Mac, Logterman, and Tony Miller.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-9886613763012909232008-01-02T13:01:00.000-06:002008-01-02T13:01:00.000-06:00These lists are fun to read, but hard to take seri...These lists are fun to read, but hard to take seriously. I think the main flaw is putting too much weight on being drafted and playing in the NBA. Brian Wardle was one hell of a college basketball player and the 4th all-time scorer at MU. How can he be this far down on the list? I think Tom Copa is getting extra credit for living in the same dorm as the author - he was a so-so player at best, maybe near the bottom of the top 100 - maybe. Oh, and putting a guy (Nick Williams) on the list who's never even suited up for MU, kind of makes the list a joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-53616706482072953122008-01-02T12:32:00.000-06:002008-01-02T12:32:00.000-06:00I don't think this is "crunching numbers" at all: ...I don't think this is "crunching numbers" at all: its pure conjecture. Tom Copa in the top 50? Huh? Brian Wardle was a stud for 4 years, and a great college player, 1 step too slow for the NBA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-69489679067667385122008-01-02T08:56:00.000-06:002008-01-02T08:56:00.000-06:00This list is a farce.

Instead of "crunching the numbers", I wish Mr. Pudner had gone back and watched video of past games (where available) to determine the order of his list. To list Amal McCaskill ahead of Novak, Wardle, Henry, Powell is a complete joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-9709251896261499892008-01-02T02:39:00.000-06:002008-01-02T02:39:00.000-06:00Novak is back up and scored 8 points two days ago....Novak is back up and scored 8 points two days ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
