Interesting fact about that '89 team is that, as athletic as they were, none of the starting 5 were over 6' 6". I agree with you about how athletic they were. Saw them many times in person.

That's exactly what I mean: they were like clones, all interchangeable, all played 5 positions. That team was rEcockulously FUN to watch.
ETA: G. Robinson and Rummeal Robinson were terrific that year, and the final angainst Andrew Gaze was terrific (OT, wasn't it?), but Illinois was the best team that year. Fuck Sean Higgins.
ETA: Damned no-link-allowing bastards! You can find some terrific pictures of that team
here. I especially like ones with Kendal Gill dunking on the whole D, and the one of Battle dunking on Loy Vaught.
