What do Ehimen Orukpe, Ryan Bradley, and Sean Ogirri have in common?

Each played three years here? Did Bradley make it three or only two?

All have nailed Theresa McDermott?

Ryan Bradley has not nailed Theresa McDermott.

The jury is still out on Larry Bird.

All the guesses are a lot more interesting than the real answer. I especially liked RDR's answer.

Orukpe, Bradley, and Ogirri are the last 3 players to wear #21.

Ogirri wore 21 his Fr year and then switched to 33 when Rob Kampman graduated. Ogirri pretty much killed 33. Going back to 1992, it's been worn by Ryan Herrs, Jason Perez, Kampman, Ogirri, Mantas Griskenas, and now Zach Bush.

Every 3PT FG made by Cleanthony Early this year was assisted. Only 59% of Armstead's were. For other players, you have 94% for Cotton, 97% for Wiggins, 62% for Van Vleet, and 66% for Williams.

I didn't want to go there because I love EO still, but I was thinking maybe you were getting at "all three are players on great WSU teams who didn't live up to expectations"

It got me thinking. Ogirri and Bradley are two guys who were part of great success and should have kept us from crashing and burning at the end of the turgeon era.

EO has been part of great success but could have really put us over the top and didn't quite do it. On the other hand, I still believe he can help us to another few wins if things go right. He did fine this year but him averaging 7-8 pts and 5-6 bounds probably wins us the title.

[Ricardo del Rio]

If four particular players, in the championship game against Creighton, had collectively shot 16.7%, the Shockers would have been conference champions. Instead they shot 1/18 or 5.6%.

Just sayin'.

A game I saw on the tube. Bob Elmore and Cal Bruton were the leaders of that team IIRC. The Shocks played a great game and I thought we had 'em. I think Michigan was led by a guard by the name of Ricky Green. A very exciting ballgame but a heartbreaking loss.

as I recall MU's only lead of the game was on a last second shot by green from the baseline
