Recently came across this Sports Illustrated issue from early in 1989 that relates to two topics relative to SHU hoops.
One is an article on the struggles of the Portland Trailblazers in the midst of Bryant’s rookie season, which plays into the current discussion on another thread.
The other is a feature on the early success of the 89 team. It was one of the first national profiles on the team. (Further along in the issue, you can see their Top 20 for that week and how SHU other opponents were ranked in early January)
