Lance still holds the NCAA record of more field goals without a miss in a single game with 20FG made versus Augustana in 1984 and also with 28 consecutive field goals in a three game spam his name is on the NCAA record book.

Lance was a double double machine during his career in Europe and someone who would make you pay from the elbow if you give him a metre.

On this episode we talked about his decision of switching Nebraska for North Dakota State after his second year in college, how Pat Riley and Jerry West called him to tell him he was drafted by the Lakers in 1984, his adventures in France, we talk about some of his teammates like Abdul Jeelani, Todd Murphy, Mike Schlegel (rip), Audie Norris, etc,etc

Lance liked very much his time in Spain and you can tell he embraced the culture and the language every time he speaks. It was a real pleasure having the opportunity of chatting with him.

Extracted from The Triangle

Many things have changed in the game of basketball over the past 20 years, but the legends of the game are still the ones who dominated their sport and succeeded off the court.

Randy Burkert was named Drexel's 2004 Colonial Athletic Association Legend March 6 at a breakfast held by the league at the Richmond Marriott Hotel. Burkert spoke on behalf of all of the legends selected from each school.

"I tried to find a common theme of all of the legends up here," Burkert said. "The only thing I could find is that we're all old."

Burkert received many laughs in his speech but also got his point across in a serious manner that the game of basketball changes and people change after playing basketball.

"Any time you can revisit some of your accomplishments, it's great," Burkert noted. "The point of today, though, was seeing the transition these people have made to become excellent and passionate in their next phase of life."

After his time at Drexel, Burkert was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers and later went on to play professional basketball in Argentina.

"No one really knows the beauty of South America," Burkert said. "I did it for a few years and really enjoyed myself. It was a fabulous experience for me."

When asked about his time at Drexel, he only had great things to say of his alma mater.

"People from Drexel are hard working and definitely have an edge coming out of college," Burkert said. "I received a great education at Drexel, and basketball was all a part of that."

On the topic of change, Burkert also noticed that the school has changed greatly since his time as a student.

"Drexel has gained a lot more national recognition, and it keeps expanding its influence," Burkert said. "Many positive things are happening."

Burkert joins Bob Buckley and Dan Promislo as the only CAA Men's Basketball Legends.

"Basketball is a game of evolution," Burkert said. "We take things we learned on the court and use them in what we are doing now."
