And we thought Andre Woolridge was bad. . .

[thejumper5]

A lot has been made over the years about Andre Woolridge leading the Big Ten in scoring and assists in 1996-97 but not being named conference player of the year. Well, today the Big XII named their all-conference lists. Baylor's Pierre Jackson led the conference in scoring and assists, but he was named second team all-conference.

For the record, the only players to lead a power conference in the points and assists since 1990 are Jackson, Jason Terry, Woolridge, Damon Stoudamire, and Gary Payton.

Jackson is phenomenal but Baylor massively underachieved and he was punished for it. It's probably not right but that team with that much talent there is no excuse for it.

Hard to do when you weren't in the NBA.

True but still one of my all-time favorite Hawkeyes.

Ding, Ding, Ding we have a winner folks.......that and his lack of quickness especially on the defense end hurt him. Bobby Jackson didn't quite put up the stats that Woolridge did that 96-97 season, but his overall game was better hence the POY award and the 10 year NBA career.

when are the all big ten teams announced?

I believe they are announced tomorrow. At least they were talking about the POY in the B1G being announced tomorrow. I'm guessing they'd announce the teams as well.

 

[HawksMN]

Ha, Bobby 'can someone help me with my homework' Jackson.....
Another joke Goofer.

True, but how much weight did he gain between his last collegiate game and the draft? It was like me between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

Woolridge to Rucker was a nice combo there for one year.... I thought he was hosed for not getting the accolades he deserved. I was bummed he couldn't cut it in the big leagues. But he was pretty much one handed and not athletic enough for the NBA. He possibly could have been if he worked at those things more but he let himself go. Anyone know what he's been up to?

Tonight on BTN. 6 PM I believe, you may want to double check the time though.
