USA Select player, Ricky Moore featured in March 27th ESPN Magazine!

In an article on page 90 of “The Mag” entitled “Senior Moments”, ESPN writer Andy Katz selected Ricky Moore’s performance in the 1999 NCAA Championship game against Duke as of other recent years best performances of an upperclassman! Not only stopping high scoring Tajon Langson, but also scoring 13 points in the first half!

Connecticut had Ricky Moore. Michigan State had Mateen Cleaves and Mo Peterson. Duke had Shane Battier. Maryland had Juan Dixon and Lonny Baxter.
Go back even further than the past four national championship teams and their rosters will have leaders who were seniors. It isn’t a coincidence. This is a fact. Seniors win national championships.

Don’t give us Fab Five fluff. They lost both title games. And, according to Michigan and soon the NCAA, that apparently didn’t happen.

Think back to the 1999 tournament. Moore was the defender who locked up Duke.
