I almost mentioned him. One of my favorites. Great defense and a glue guy. I loved how hard and smart he played.

If you want to go way back, to the Ken Hays era I think, Bruce Davis was from KC Southwest HS.

I'd try to look that up, but I don't want to have to break out the microfiche. :wink: Just kidding!

Actually, Ken Hayes mentioned Bruce Davis in an article by @cbonham that we published back in 2013....

I hear ol’ Billy-one-shoe-Frazier from the Kendall College came from Rockhurst.

Yeah....In that time frame, he was really good....He was a senior when I was a fr.

They tied for the MoValley conf. championship with St. Louis, but instead of a play-off
with them to see who went to the NCAAs, St. Louis chose to go to the NIT, because in

T.U. lost to Colorado in the first round, but beat SMU in the consolation game for our
first and only NCAA victory until the '90's.....

A long time ago.....
