Awesome for him.
When he and Houston were both lighting it up, we were tough to handle. Unfortunately that didn’t happen near enough.

A long, long time ago, I played basketball against Wiseman and around a 6'9, Ronnie Robinson (was on the team for a year or 2, transferred, tho)on the bb courts between the old tennis courts at UT, right above Tom Black Track. If anybody cares, I have plenty of details and I do love to tell that story

They need to honor the mustache too.

Great for Lang. He's a quality individual from a great family. I know Lang and enjoy speaking with him from time to time. He's serving on the Governor's staff currently. I talked to his dad last week (unfortunately his mother passed away a couple of years ago) and he's doing well. If you ever meet his father ask him to tell the story of how he bought a new car when Lang was a freshman at UT and by the time he was a senior the car was worn out traveling to almost every single game. A lot of folks don't know this but his brother Russell was a pretty good player himself. Congratulations Lang.

Harvard Law grad too, right? For what it's worth, Tennessee lost the last game of Lang Wiseman's (and also Allan Houston's) career in the 1993 SEC Tournament to Kentucky on a Friday night in Lexington. It was the night of a blizzard in Knoxville in which it snowed 20 inches. The final score was 101-40.

Ronnie Reese was 6'8" and played all 4 years at TN (1987-91).

Edit: there was a Ronnie Robinson that played 2 years. 1989-91. 3 games, 4 points. TN's all time leading FT percentage shooter (2-2). I don't remember him.

U wouldn't, the only reason I do, is because I dominated him that night and talked pure sh!t to him. If my 2 on 2 teammate could have gotten one stop on Lang, we would have beat them, but he couldn't and neither could I, when we switched.

I remember. I think iirc Lang is the only basketVol to graduate with a perfect 4.0 too.

The original peanut butter and jelly combo, Houston and Wiseman.

Congrats to LW on being an SEC Legend.

I remember a game where Wiseman started the game a perfect 9 for 9 shooting, or something like that. Loved that guy when I was a kid.
