They had Ron Coleman, who avged 21.3 ppg that season and was a legit player. Pretty much beyond that they had nobody.
Senior Charlie Rudd, a 6 foot even guard, jumped center on a team that had no players taller than 6'5. Only 2 Tigers would avg > 7 ppg for a team that lost by an avg of 15 ppg over the course of the season, thanks to 37.3% shooting from the field. The Tigers were out-rebounded by more than 12 a game.
Their 3 total wins on the season came against Rice (who went 1-22 that year), and overtime victory in the Big 8 holiday tourney against OSU (who went 4-21 that year), and a 1 point win on a 20 foot buzzer beater against Colorado (who also was below .500 that year). And that is it for the whole season, a 3-21 record with three of the weakest wins you can imagine.
In fact, in one loss tiny Loyola Chicago outrebounded the Tiger 58-26 en route to scoring 108 points against us. The Tiger's lost at home to something called the Pamex Oilers. In my estimation, the worst Tiger team ever. It was the equivalent of fielding a junior varsity squad.
