DP was the work horse of those teams. He drew some of the toughest assignments and delivered. I was a freshman and remember this game well.

Similar in many ways to Anthony Douglass who went to E8 with Penny, Vaughn, Smith and Madlock-a tough ass team.

MyBB RE: 1984 Memphis St. VS Oklahoma
I forget which Oklahoma/Memphis game it was but I was travelling on business in Oklahoma and stopped for gasoline in a small town. He noticed my Tennessee plates and stated that Memphis was going to get their rear ends beat. I countered with a $5.00 bet and he said that I would never come back to pay him. I said that I keep my word and pay my debts. The look on his face when I returned to collect my $5.00 was unforgettable. He paid up.

I can't remember what game it was, but there was a def rebound by DP and a quick outlet pass to Turner. So DP was last coming down court. Someone took maybe a 15 foot jumper and the ball bounced fairly high off the front of the rim back towards the foul line. Here comes DP full stride, leaped quite high snagging the ball with one hand about 12 feet from the goal and slammed it with Darryl Dawkins authority. The look on the fans' faces was one of awe. Even the players were going holy sh**.

I can't recall hearing about Finch missing at the time. He wouldn't have missed the game unless sick. Maybe too much Buntyn's that day?

I recall Al McGuire was doing the pregame at midcourt when one of our Pom squad (Carla - very hot blond) ran towards him and then slid on her knees as she did some pose. McGuire in a very animated fashion gave her an offensive charge call. lol

If Keith Lee wouldn't have gained that weight his senior year, no telling.

Or if that team had one more piece that could've aided during foul trouble and/or just made the frontcourt depth more dynamic - Jerome Mincy for the logical choice, Michael Cage for the fantasy choice.

If the Tigers had Michael Cage along with Lee then they would have been unstoppable. They would have been holy hell to deal with.

Yes and he did well. But he was not as skilled as Cage nor did he have the heart. Bedford also had "other' issues.

Lol. I was waiting. And the staff put the weight on Keith in his JR season. All 5 starters played at least a little bit in the NBA.

Bedford was 5 times as skilled as Cage. One of the most skilled big men in the 80s. Wouldn't devote his life to basketball. This is just not my opinion, but Keith's and several other players on that team and many media people.

I'm pretty sure Michael Cage at San Diego State (recruited by native Memphian Coach Smokey Gaines) was a year ahead of Keith Lee.

The player from Memphis that the Tigers missed on was Richard Madison the "Master Blaster" whose Uncle was his Guardian & sold him like Lynn Lang.

Ran across this-mentions Madison. Andre can be brutally honest.

Pretty sure I heard Madison regretted going to KY-numbers weren't good; had only one year overlap with Keith.

I wonder where he was for that game? Such a big game for both teams. I think we were ranked 13 and Oklahoma was 11th. Keith Lee was pumped up doing his strut dance and pumping his fists. Anyway, I found it odd that Larry wasn't there. Maybe he was recruiting?? Fun game to watch.

That was in the tournament against Tisdale. Seem to remember that Tisdale shot the ball at the end and it hit every part of the rim...rimming...rimming....rimming and out. Lee always seemed to play his best against the best players.

No the game I watched was a regular season game at mid south coliseum

yep. tourney game was 85.

There is a neat story about Larry going to Andres house, putting him in his car and telling Andre he wasn't leaving Memphis.

I thought he was headed to UAB

Great find. Thanks for posting it. But the writer should have known it's Lorenzen (not Lorenzo).

We never had a shot at Cage or the Blaster

Andre wanted to play with Steve Mitchell at first but Finch talked him out of it

Let's put it this way. Keith was well worth the shoebox and the duster

Which goes back to my main point.

Should've gotten those UAB guys here - at least Mincy.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Baskerville got drafted but never played a minute in the NBA.
