Who was the best backcourt to come to Lamar?

[jtram]

1.N.Bellard and M.Olliver
2. A.Daniels and R.Anthony
3. A.Miles and M.James
Just to name a few, question was brought up in conversation and wondering what everybody on here thought....

[badndn]

It all starts and ends with any tandem that Oliver was a part of. End of discussion. For those that didn't get to see him play won't completely understand, but his records and his teams records stand for themselves.

It's a shame they really can't recognize him anymore.

Amen.

Lamont Robinson and Tommy Sewell are real high on my list too.

It's a shame to see what he's done with his life.

Olliver and whoever..not even close...wish they'd a had 3 pointers with him...

Oh, I wouldn't say it isn't even close. Sewell and Robinson were incredible. Where is Alvin Brooks? But, it is hard to argue that Oliver and bellard aren't the best

[puddin tane]

not even close

[puddin tane]

Points-------------------Olliver-2518 , sewell 1496
Feild goals------------- Olliver 1130, sewell 627
Oliver-1st all time in steals and games played, 5th all time in assists

[McDonaldGymRat]

Someone help me out here. Wasn't Sewell a 2 year juco player? If so then career stat comparisons are apples to oranges.

[puddin tane]

well hell, Rat..if stats mean nothing...why keep em? give everybody a ribbon

Sewell played 2 years. Double his stats and you get damn near 3000 points and a little over 1250 field goals. Just because you play a lot of games doesn't make you great

The silly part is I agree that the list starts with Oliver.

I can still see that Sewell jumper like it was yesterday though.

How many points would Mike have scored if there was a three point shot? 3000? And he could completely take over a game. I remember a game in McDonald gym (against La Tech, I think) where they were double and triple teaming him, denying him the ball. Tubbs had him go just stand by the scorers table, while the rest of the team played 4 on 3. LU won 120-80. Damndest thing I ever saw.

[coachacola]

The 1980-81 team had Alvin Brooks and Mike Oliver starting with Terry Long coming off the bench. Terry Long averaged 10 points a game but I think most of his shots would be 3-pointers today. This team beat Missouri in the first round of the NCAA tourney.

Mike Oliver 22.3 ppg
Alvin Brooks 11.7 ppg
Terry Long 10.0 ppg
