Guard Billy Donovan led the 6th seeded Providence Friars unlikely Final Four run during the 1987 tournament earning the Southeast Regional MVP along the way. The senior guard known as ‘Billy The Kid’ averaged 20.6 points per game along with 7 assists for the season. He is one of four men to appear in a final four and then win a championship as a coach.
Final Four
Two Sport Stars - Kenny Lofton
in Baseball
Kenny Lofton is one of only two dudes to play in the World Series & the NCAA Final Four. Kenny was a backup Point Guard on the ‘87-’88 Arizona Wildcat team led by Sean Elliott & Steve Kerr that reached the Big Dance. He didn’t even play Baseball until his Junior year of College. Happy B-Day Kenny!!
Can you name the other player to have played in both?
