Abdur-Rahim has spent the last four seasons with the Owls, turning around a program that had just one win during his first season all the way to a share of the regular season crown in the A-Sun, then winning the conference tournament to earn a bid in this year’s NCAA Tournament where they took 3-seed Xavier to the wire but fell 72-67.
