)Speaking of players on this list, just a friendly remind that we are raising another Cougar great’s jersey with our number 7 all time leading scorer Dwight “Double D” Davis for Sunday’s game with ASU.
I wish we had done Chaney and Davis sooner but so thankful for the staff to realize they deserve it.
Still wish we would have a special display for Louis Dunbar’s journey with the Harlem Globetrotters.
Come to think it, a display for our USA Olympians would be nice too. Dream, Glide, Kenny Spain and Dwight Jones. Then there were four for international, Carl Herrera 1992 (Venezuela), Rolando Ferreira1988,1992(Brazil), David Diaz1992(Colombia), Or Goren 1976 (Israel).
Can anyone tell me about Goren?

And now AI saying Sharp is undisputed champion with 276 and Sasser had 274.
@RWcoog that AI list seems a bit off
Jarace Walker only made (35) total 3pts at UH
AI sucks for stuff like this, you shouldn’t be using it. If you feed it the correct sources it can be great but relying on it to get info like this is a waste of time.

If Cryer was only for his 2 years at UH……most impressive.

I probably made about 20 changes with AI to come up with that list. I am sure I missed a few.
