I'm a little surprised there is no mention of Luther "Ticky" Burden in this conversation. He averaged close to 30 points a game, and this was long before the 3 point arc. He played the game 30 feet from the hoop and filled it up every night.
He played only 3 years before departing to play pro ball, yet he is 5th in all time scoring for the U. I can't help but wonder what he may have done in 4 years, not to mention the number of points with 3 pointers in play.
His nickname is "Ticky" for the sound of nothing but net. Whenever the game was on the line, Ticky was absolute money. He was the go-to guy. I wish all of you could have seen him play in person as I did.
