He played for Corpus Christi He had 10 as a 7th Grader CC 34 SEA 42. Conor Furey and Ricky Walsh both had 16 for us.
Goodge was the best player on that team. Donte did not play as an 8th Grader.
I still have every scorebook to this day.
Is Conor Furey's father Kevin Furey, who played for St. Joe's decades ago? (longshot, but it isn't a common name. It was probably changed from Furio at Ellis Island.) I should know better than to ask Bubba about a game he coached. No Kevin is his uncle. His father Tony is my families heart doctor. Tony was the starting center on the Lafayette team that knocked off Michael Brooks, Kurt Kanaskie, Mo Connolley team back in the day.

Lafayette beat La Salle on a buzzer beater 81-80. Tony Furey was a Freshman on that team and did not start. La Salle was 22-9 that season but lost to Purdue in the NCAA 90-82. Joe Barry Carroll was their 7.0 Center who was the NBA first overall pick that year

The NCAA was corrupt back then too letting Purdue play a first round tourney game on their home floor

I'm confused is it supposed to look like Martelli's thinning hair blowing in the wind?

Picture this, in today’s age of player empowerment: A college basketball player sees his playing time decrease during his redshirt junior season. He earns his undergraduate degree — the main goal of anyone’s secondary education, of course — and decides, rather than riding the pine during what could be his last year of competitive basketball, he will look for another option elsewhere.
He is a graduate transfer who has played three seasons of basketball in four years. He is in good academic standing — he will even earn the team’s academic excellence honor during his redshirt sophomore season — and he has found a welcoming university in another part of the country, a place that offers a graduate program that piques his intellectual interest.
Sign, seal, deliver, right?
Not so fast.
It has been more than eight years since Todd O’Brien fell victim to the worst that NCAA legislation has to offer, a combination of organizational red tape and a control-freak coach costing him his final year of athletic eligibility...theathletic.com/1656930/2020/03/06/todd-obrien-st-joes-uab-college-basketball-ncaa-transfer-rules/

These two quotes stood out to me.
“I’ve been doing this for 30 years almost, so I’ve been involved in quite a number of very contentious cases,” Jackson said. “But that was the one case, I mean, the system just failed. The system failed this young man. And he may not be angry with Saint Joseph’s, but I will be frank with you: I still have a problem with the way that they handled this, because they used a flaw in the system to destroy a young man’s career.”
“The position that Saint Joseph’s took, candidly, I thought was one of the most mean-spirited, calculated and intentional acts that I’ve ever seen a university engage in to damage a student-athlete’s career,” said Jackson, who is based in Montgomery, Ala.

www.inquirer.com/college-sports/st-joes/st-josephs-basketball-billy-lange-20210126.htmlIf Phil Martelli were still the coach, St. Joe’s would be better right now. Jared Bynum, starting point guard at Providence, would be at SJU. Hakim Hart, now starting at Maryland, would surely have kept his commitment to SJU. Bones Hyland, averaging 18.6 points a game at VCU, had planned to be at SJU. Jameer Nelson Jr. was joining the party. That’s not to suggest that even with all those guys Hawks would have been at the top of the A-10, just that they wouldn’t be at the bottom of it.On the hunt for any semblance of good news lately, St. Joe’s put out a press release Sunday saying that Daly was “set to have the cast on his left hand removed and be reevaluated in the coming days.” What that turns out to mean, we’ll find out. Even with Daly available, SJU is 318th in Division I in experience, which matches up pretty closely in being 309th in D1 in defensive effective field goal percentage, according to KenPom.com.

The rivalry was much more fun with Martelli as their coach.

I'm sure if you told most St. Joseph's of PA fans they'd have the same number of conference wins as St. Louis a month into conference play, they would have been thrilled.

He took them to 6 NCAA tournaments and 6 NIT tournaments, and won the A10 tournament and conference. I'd take a self-promoting pompous windbag for those results.
