Lucas: The Man
Posted Mar 2, 2006
As David Noel stood in the middle of the Smith Center court, listening to the crowd wash over him, a student yelled something. No, not just something. The exactly right thing. "David, you're the man!" He was. He is. Then he proved it. Not by going out and throwing down a dunk from the free throw line or by tossing in a bunch of three-pointers. He proved it by saying this: "I don't mind that people will remember that I scored a lot of points on my senior day. But I also want them to remember that I did the little things."
