CAMPUS HARD COURT June 15, 2012.....does X-MAN, CLIFF, and the BIG DAWG ring a BELL.....those early 80s WICHITA STATE SHOCKERS of the Missouri Valley Conference...the MVC

I grew up in Galesburg, Illinois and was really close to then MVC and National Powerhouse the Bradley Braves and discussing thr Braves is coming soon. But I vividly remember the Other teams that came into the Fieldhouse on Bradley's Peoria, Illinois Campus.

The Nationally-Ranked Wichita State Shockers led by arguably one of the best Power Forwards to ever play Division 1-A Hoops and the Two players that played with him made the Shockers Front Line arguably the best in the Country in 1984-85. Levitt Arena was rocking in those days behind all that talent in Wichita, Kansas.

Xavier "X-Man" McDaniel, Cliff "use to own the Riveria Nightclub in Chi-City" Levingston, and Antione "the Big Dawg" Carr who backed up the Mailman at the Salt Palace. These 3 Players put the Wichita State Shockers Program to new heights and if it wasn't for some minor Violations they may have won a National Championship.

How good was the X-Man at WSU....his 1984-85 Season he went for 27 ppg and 14 rebs per and shot some 55% from the Field and most of those were of the Nigh Percentage Variety like Dunk you Very Much.

X went on to post amazing numbers at WSU with 2,152 points and 1,359 boards. A 2-Time MVC Player of the Year '84-'85, and a 1st Team All-American in 1985.

The Big Dawg was MVC Player of the Year in 1983 and averaged over 17 ppg at WSU and was a HS Teammate of Rock Chalk's Great PG Darnell Valentine.

Cliff was All-MVC 80-82 and was a Vital part of the 1981 Team.
