Roger Woods

If Roger Woods had just been in Little Rock a little longer, he would have been all over the Trojan record book. Over his two years, he averaged 10.9 points/game and 5.3 rpg and shot 50.1% from the field. Plus, for much of that time, he was the primary (only?) inside scoring threat we had. He brought a toughness we badly needed. He was listed at 6-5, but most folks figured he was shorter than that, yet he mixed it up with considerably taller players on a regular basis, and often more than held his own because of his aggressiveness and strength. Some had predicted that he would not flourish under Coach Beard's system because his style of play was not suited to it,  but he averaged double figures and had our best shooting percentage from the floor, so he got the job done.
