We beat Gonzaga?
It was a day after we beat tu in basketball and 2 days before saving Les Miles job as LSU football coach.
I remember. Trocha (coming off a freshman season where he was maybe the worst regular rotation player in all of the high majors) hit like 4 or 5 threes and set 2 things into motion:
1. He established himself as the first big off the bench (backing up either Davis or Jalen) which made Elijah Thomas bail.
2. He now had the green light to bomb away whenever he wanted despite being 30% career from three.
He also was pretty damn good on the inbounder during the press and was a big part of that UNI comeback. He was basically the only guy (besides Caruso) during the BK era to play his full 4 years, and his leadership and experience and willingness to accept his role has been sorely lacking from the roster since the day he graduated.
And he earned his degree. Trocha will always be one of my favorite all-around players.
