I stand corrected. I had no idea those games were so manic.
That LMU team was fantastic to watch. If you haven't seen the "Guru of Go", the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary about that team, you should watch it.
Gathers was only the 2nd player to ever lead the NCAA in scoring AND rebounding in the same season. with 32.7 ppg and 13.7 rpg in 1989 (Junior season). Xavier McDaniel (Wichita St., '85) was the 1st. Only been done once since, Kurt Thomas (TCU, '95).
Gathers averaged only 29.0 ppg his senior season (1990), while Bo Kimble picked up the slack with 35.3 ppg. Their # 3 scorer, Jeff Fryer, averaged 22.7 ppg.
LMU's scoring average the 3 years that Gather and Kimble played there:
1988, 110.3 ppg
1989, 112.5 ppg
1990,
122.4 ppg
