Re: Abdul Fox on the next GoRhody Podcast
How often does he make it back to Rhody for a visit, an event, a game or practice ?
How well does he know Archie and the staff ?
Thanks, Scott! I am looking forward to another excellent interview.

Re: Abdul Fox on the next GoRhody Podcast
Ask him about the items that Michael Jordan gave him. What were they and does he ever regret not keeping them (he gave them away)
Talk about the games during tryouts going up against Jordan.

Re: Abdul Fox on the next GoRhody Podcast
Really nice guest Scott !
Ask him his memories about the big win Vs Purdue and Big Dog Robinson in the 93 NCAAs
What was it like playing for Coach Skinner ?
Also he was instant offense in 93 as a 6th man did it bother him that he wasn’t a starter ??

I was there as well. That was an action packed thriller from start to the end of the second OT.
Abdul is in rare company for URI players as he is one of just a few in program history to have experienced wins in both the NIT (Vanderbilt/BC) and NCAA (Purdue).

Re: Abdul Fox on the next GoRhody Podcast
The win vs Glenn Robinson's Purdue team was great. He scored 36 and was great
We then lost 112-67 to North Carolina
Never in the game. UNC players were taller, bigger, faster.
It was a long drive home. Very high from Purdue win, low from UNC crushing
So question then Scott, for Fox, is how did the players feel about the UNC team? And that game? Nothing can erase the ncaa appearance and the win over Purdue but what about the experience that weekend in NC? What memories did the team bring back?

Re: Abdul Fox on the next GoRhody Podcast
Abdul was one of the most exciting players that I can remember. Never shied away from a big shot and moment. I don’t remember the stats, but we beat a very good Temple team at home in 1992-1993 by 2 points. One of the best games that I’ve seen. Aaron McKie had a huge game but our guys matched him and came up clutch, especially Fox. Abdul is a Rhody legend for sure!

Re: Abdul Fox on the next GoRhody Podcast
It seemed like almost every game he would get a steal and go coast to coast and finish with a dunk…sometimes a nice reverse one to really get the crowd going.

UNC won it that year over Michigan

Re: Abdul Fox on the next GoRhody Podcast
I was friendly with Abdul at URI. We weren't buddies, but he was a very good student and he was average guy when he wasn't on the basketball court. You could talk to him about sports or anything and he treated you like an equal. I have nothing but great memories of Abdul from our URI days
