I remember him.
The Big East at that time was incredible. Truly the zenith of college basketball.
Back before “One and Done” ruined College Basketball.
Sad the end comes so soon. He was a fantastic talent.
I’m going to violate one of my late mother’s dictums and say something unflattering about someone who is deceased. Pearl Washington had a reputation as a sucker puncher, which is a cowardly act in my view. He sucker punched Patrick Ewing in a Big East game and did the same to Armon Gilliam in an NBA game. Those are just the two incidents I know about. So, forgive me for not jumping on the Pearl Washington tribute bandwagon.
RIP.
