Karl Hess #11

The most prolific scorer in Liberty basketball history, Karl Hess, did so without the luxury of a three-point line, racking up a program-best 2,373 points. He was the team captain of Liberty’s 1980 NCCAA National Championship team as a senior, earning All-Tournament and MVP honors.

Liberty retired his jersey on Dec. 2, 2006. Hess finds himself atop many school record lists, including first in field goals (951) and second in field goals attempted (1,798). Hess ranks first in free throws (471), free throw percentage (89.9%), assists (648), and is tied for second in games played (120).

Hess, a four-year starter, has a list of personal achievements that include winning Liberty’s Rock Royer-Mac Rivera Award (1980), NCCAA First Team All-American (1980) and CoSIDA Academic First Team All-American (1980) college division.

A 5–11 guard from Shickshinney, Pa., Hess currently is a psychologist and resides in Lynchburg with his wife, April, and their two sons, Nate and Zack. Hess also travels extensively as a major college basketball referee, primarily officiating SEC, ACC and BIG EAST games.

Cedric Golden's column in today's Austin American-Statesman will make a Husker fans blood curdle.  Sometimes it is insufferable living near Austin being a Husker fan.

The pharmacy accidentally gave him amphetamines instead of ambien.

Well...actually...as the team boarded the bus Friday morning to head to AT&T center, Walt came through the lobby with the team but then sprinted back in because he had forgotten his game jersey up in the room. Must've grabbed his jersey but left his game behind the second time.

Wisconsin v Arizona - the officiating was atrocious . I felt the officials were very influenced by the home crowd. There was no way any view showed conclusively that last oob was off Wisconsin.

The offensive foul on the second to last possession might have been the only close call to go the badgers way and that probably should have been a no call.

There is a reason it has earned the name Marxh Madness

Absolutely agree. I can't really think of any sport where I believe instant replay is really an overall asset to the game. Yes, they might occasionally reverse a call and get it "correct" but, mostly, they just disrupt and distract from the game.
