Ronnie Valentine had it all. A sweet jump shot, an innate ability to know where a rebound would bounce, a lean and muscular 6-foot-7 body and a rough-and-tumble work ethic honed on Norfolk's playgrounds.
Never was all that more apparent than on March 2, 1977, when Valentine lit up Georgetown for 36 points as Old Dominion, in its first season in Division I, shocked the Hoyas, 80-58, to win the ECAC South basketball championship.
Valentine camped in one corner and made shot after shot from 3-point range, long before there was such a thing. When defenders rushed out to guard him, he'd head-fake his way to a dunk.
