The O List's all-time starting five for Miami basketball:
Rick Barry (1962-65): School's all-time leading scorer (29.8 ppg) and rebounder (16.5 rpg). Went on to become a legend in the ABA (above right) and NBA, too, making the underhand free-throw style famous.
Jack McClinton (2006-present): Hurricanes' first-ever All-ACC first-team pick in 2007-08, he repeated that as a senior this season. He's the ACC's all-time leader in 3-point percentage (44.3) and second in free-throw percentage (90.0). Transferred from Siena.
Tim James (1995-99): Two-time All-Big East player, also made some All-American teams as a senior. James, a bruising inside player, had career averages of 14.9 ppg and 7.4 rpg.
Don Cornutt (1967-70): Second-team All-American in 1970, Cornutt is Hurricanes' third all-time leading scorer behind Barry and Eric Brown. Averaged 26.1 points in three seasons.
Darius Rice (2000-04): Another long-range sharpshooter who made 260 3-point baskets in his career. His 1,865 points is fourth on the school's career list.
