Magic stuns Tubbs by recalling names of B.B. Davis, Kea

[Guest coachacola]

[quote]Lamar University athletic director Billy Tubbs, in Kansas City last weekend as a presenter for the late Wayman Tisdale into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, had some fun with Magic Johnson and his college coach, Jud Heathcote, who were also being inducted. “Neither one of you guys would have amounted to much if we hadn’t relaxed after the first minute,” Tubbs quipped. Tubbs, of course, was referring to his Lamar team’s 1979 NCAA tournament game with Michigan State that launched the Spartans’ dominating run to the championship. MSU, after Lamar had shocked No. 17 Detroit in its first ever NCAA game, routed the Cardinals, 100-64, and never had a close game on the way to the title . . . Magic, by the way, shocked Tubbs with his response to the needle. “Yeah, you had a couple of really good inside players — B.B. Davis and Clarence Kea,” he retorted. “I was stunned,” Tubbs said. “With all the games he’s played, and great players he’s faced, how could he remember B.B. and Pick?” [/quote]
