I would for ESPNU or Classic to show some G-town vs Arizona games (if they ever played vs one another AND if ESPN has the rights to those games)

another icon of the early days of the Big East, Demetrius Gore, died of a heart attack yesterday

Gore was part of the great Pitt class of '84 along with Charles Smith and that team really put them on the map (gore, smith, aiken, and a few others) and led to the recruitment of guys like Martin, Shorter, Matthews, Blair, Adams, Miller, Page, Lane, Knight that wound consistently win 25-30 games/season

Gore played in 122 games, started 111, and is still 16th on Pitt's all-time scoring list

​John thompson is a BIG JERK,,, he said multiple times he would NEVER draft a white kid to play on his teams,,, so for Years,, he was a Black racist Piece of sht! Hopefully god will punish him some way for that. I know in his later years he did bring in a few white kids,,, Just thihnk that was a Dk move.

Thompson, spent a lot of time in Vegas. Stayed at the Barbary Coast all the time in the late 90's. Always had the disheveled look.
