If only Calbert still had eligibility At 7-foot-1 and 294 pounds, Shaquille O’Neal was no small second round task for a No. 2 seed Indiana squad that once again had Final Four aspirations. O’Neal’s stat line for the 1991-92 season was almost as imposing as he was: 24.1 points, 14 rebounds and 5.2 blocks per game. The two-time consensus All-American and SEC player of the year was going to be a considerable challenge for an Indiana team that had no one in its regular rotation above 6-foot-9. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/this-date-in-hoosier-history-indiana-slays-shaq-and-lsu-in-round-of-32/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so hard for me to put ZE15 into a category with those guys if ZE15 & TJD played 30 years ago I doubt they dominate as much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have something in common with Sampson and Olaguwan and that they haven't won a championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to compare especially from so long ago versus today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Per CBS: Edey is pacing toward a season with at least 775 points, 453 rebounds and 77 blocked shots. Sports Reference's database only brings up one player to clear those benchmarks in a single season: David Robinson in 1986-87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Big Dog would’ve hit those numbers but he was short by like 100 rebounds and like 40 blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
