On this episode of #GMGCast, Zac Babb and Hank Dickenson sit down with newly-enshrined North Texas Hall of Famer and former Mean Green men's basketball standout Deon Hunter. They discuss his time with the Mean Green, clinching men's basketball's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1988, and everyone involved on that team. They also talk about life after college basketball, opening his Hoop Hunter program that has produced NBA players, and what getting into the Hall of Fame meant to him and his teammates.
That's followed up by a trip down the corridor of years in "Babbling with Hank." This time, Hank and Zac talk about more great memories at the Super Pit in its 50 year history, and where clinching the 1988 Southland Conference Tournament at the Pit ranks in the all-time events the building has hosted.
