OT: Syracuse great Pearl Washington dies.
hopefully throughout his life he was happy as a clam at high tide
RIP, Pearl. Among the many players who personified Big East power basketball in the 80's. That was a great basketball conference in a great basketball era.

Some great wars in that conference back then, the names echo basketball lore: Chris Mullins, Mark Jackson, Jerome Lane, Sherman Douglas, Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing just to name some. The Coaches were just as popular as the players and bring up visions of sweaty small gyms: Lou Carneseca, John Thompson, John Chaney. Pearl Washington is a part of that fabric, it was a great time for college basketball.
Bill Raftery looks like he hasn't changed a day in 30 years.
