Where have you gone? Colgate edition
Talk to most fans about Colgate and the NBA and the name Adonal Foyle is sure to come up. Foyle was the first, and, after the Spurs' release of Bucknell's Charles Lee, is the only Patriot League player now playing in the league.

But Foyle is not the only alum of a league school in the NBA. Tad Brown, who was captain of the then Red Raiders for three seasons in the mid-80s, also draws a paycheck from a league team. Matter of fact, Brown probably even signs the paychecks for the Houston Rockets after being named the new CEO of the team and its parent Clutch City Sports & Entertainment.

Brown lettered four seasons for Colgate (1983, 84, 85 and 86), and served as the team's captain his sophomore and junior seasons before sharing those duties as a tri-captain his senior season.

Colgate did not have a lot to cheer about during his days as a Raider. They won only 14 games in Brown's four seasons, going 1-24 his senior year.

Brown, though, was a bright spot. He was pretty much a 40 minute man his entire career, with school records for average minutes per game in both a single season (39.8 per game in 1982-83) and career (38.7 per game). Heading into last season (this year's media guide, with records updates is not out yet), Brown ranked sixth in career steals and was 12th on the school's career assists list. His 884 career points tied for No. 28 on the school's all-time scoring list.
