Rodney Monroe scores his 2000th career point at NC State and scores 48 points against Georgia Tech. Rodney was part of the "Fire and Ice" backcourt with Chris Corchiani. Corchiani was "Fire" and Rodney was "Ice".
Rodney Monroe was one of the greatest players in the history or MD High School BBall. I remember the first time I saw him play against Dunbar and they had Sam Cassell and a boatload of players. It did'nt matter he scored something like 30 and they won. Then the next year he turned around and hit a 60 foot shot to win against another city power Lake Clifton was one of the best shooters I ever saw. The Hawks did'nt capitalize on his talents they tried to make him a point guard.
Rodney Monroe is the greatest player to ever go through the md catholic basketball schools.... I can still remember being young watching Goretti, him and Kenyatta Mason were ALOT of fun to watch as a kid, those two could do no wrong in my eyes then that led right into him and Chris. I can still remember when they both came to the summer camp ran by the best coach in the area Cokey Robertson. Another memory, Goretti coming out to "lean on me", still sends shivers down my spine. Go Rodney,
This was the year after Tech made the Final 4. They no longer had Scott or Oliver (the other two of the "Letal Weapon 3"). We actually beat Tech three times that year.
You are correct on Duke winning it all - Carolina also made the F4 that year.
We actually had a really good team, just no depth. And Les was coaching. Had V stuck around, this could have been a Sweet 16 team.
He's barely hitting ANY rim!!!!!
