NCAA at 75 - College Basketball
53. La Salle, 1954
Tom Gola rightly is remembered as "The Guy" for the Explorers in 1954. He averaged an unfathomable 22.8 points and 20.4 rebounds in the NCAA tournament. But he was surrounded by a terrific supporting cast -- and only one senior. Frank Blatcher averaged 13.4 points per game, Fran O'Malley 10.2 and Frank O'Hara, the lone senior, 6.8. The ability of Ken Loeffler's team to spread the wealth not only made La Salle tough to defend, it made Gola almost unstoppable. -- Dana O'Neil
