Anthony Avent was a dominant post player for the men's basketball program during its renaissance. After contributing as a reserve during the team's run to the 1989 NCAA Final Four, he blossomed as a starter in 1989-90, leading the team in rebounds and blocks. Then in 1990-91, he was one of the best forwards in the BIG EAST, averaging 17.8 points per game and 9.9 rebounds per game while shooting 58 percent from the field. He helped the Pirates win the 1991 BIG EAST Tournament championship, first in program history, and was named second-team All-BIG EAST and BIG EAST All-Tournament. He went on to become a first-round NBA Draft selection and played 352 career games in the league.
