Two very good guesses. Neither meet all three criteria.

Hard to get that first criteria, or know whether or not it's right.

I've found someone who played on the 94 All Star team, was on the roster of a university who played Valpo in the 94-95 season (no idea if he got in the game) and was in the D-League for a little while. No idea if they played overseas together professionally but I'm going to sit this one out.

A3uge: According to the Indy Star Miller wasn't on the '94 Indiana All Star team. The team that Hanlon lists is a High School in Maine that Miller played for his junior and senior season. Not sure you can be eligible for the Indiana All Stars and play in Maine.

Idk it was on the link.

Brad Miller is the correct answer. He was added to the Indiana All-Stars that played the Illinois All-Stars in a game at Valpo High. Nice work a3uge! I'll have two tickets for you and I'll have another question next week.

[Kyle321n]

I found Sean Daugherty who went to Wisconsin and played against Valpo in '94. My thought was they could have played together in Bryce's oversees stops. I couldn't find anything on Daugherty's post-college career outside of some D-League appearances. I didn't realize that the Indiana All-Stars played in Valpo and faced Illinois with Brad Miller.

Boy, that was a young team!  Ron Mercer with 3 years experience, Fred Hoiberg with 5, and the rest had 2 or less!

I wonder what the dynamic between Ron Arrest and Bryce Drew was like...

Was the spelling "Arrest" a typo, a freudian slip or done on purpose?

I heard Ron A. has a lot more "Peace" in his life.

Artest autocorrects to Arrest. Well played, technology.

Name the two players in Valpo history who totaled over 800 points, 400 rebounds and 300 assists?

[valpo95]

Jarryd Loyd and Lubos Barton

[valpo95]

Actually, I amend that. Loyd only had 309 rebounds and 405 assists. (I reversed them!)

I'm not 100% sure, but instead of Loyd, Tracy Gipson?

[valpo95]

All right, it took me some digging, but the answer is Matt Kenney (+ Barton).

Gipson only had 396 rebounds.

[agibson]

The eternal trivia debate, to use the internet and other resources, or not?

I have more immediate guesses for the points+rebound superlatives, without adding assists into the category...

[chef]

Matt Kenney and Lubos Barton are correct.....fine job 95. Next week we'll set some parameters about looking things up.
