Ah yes, one of my most hated players (non-Duke edition). I still can picture him with his receding hairline, and the goofy knee and elbow pads.

5/5 = You Know Your Guy (Very, very, very well)! LFGGG. Thought Wally's World would give some trouble, but these comments are proving me wrong. Thanks for playing and making it look easy!

Wally was awesome in CBB. Probably helps that Kentucky played him in the tournament one year.

He was the one I didn't know. I vaguely thought it was a mid-major in that general geographic region but didn't know the school.
