well, they made a post season every year...but were beaten in the first round of the ncaa five times...but made a nice run in 1979 only to be beaten on two missed shots against penn that would have taken us to a final four. we stunk out the nit every year but two...1970 when al mcguire took his marquette team from the ncaa out of spite and beat us in the final...and 1972 when we lost mel davis to oral roberts in a tournament we might have won.
therefore, billy paultz gets my nod as best center even though looie said george johnson was one of the three most intelligent players to suit up for him. he was also somewhat of a scoring machine, considering his coach insisted on a "walk up" offense. plus, six foot seven really doesn't a center make unless you're talking about st john's. wayne mccoy would be a second or third teamer here. greg cluess is one of my all time favorites.
mel davis and billy schaeffer are no brainers. frank gilroy, rudy wright and ron plair of the second team deserve mentions. reggie carter from that team is one of our all time best. joe depre warrants consideration. i'll grant alagia a mention, but he didn't win squat. bernard rencher also deserves a mention. underrated and very smart. glen williams was a high scorer who never seemed to put two good halves together.
