When they talk about that Big East Tournament now, the hero and his mentor can't help but reflect on the victories on the court. They'll remember how an unheralded player named Oliver Taylor helped Seton Hall stun Georgetown and Villanova and the rest to win the title.
Taylor was the MVP in Madison Square Garden exactly 25 years ago today, and now that he is long retired from the sport he loves, he knows that stands as the signature accomplishment of his athletic career. He'll be forever linked with the likes of Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin and Sherman Douglas.
