Jacobs, who sprained his ankle badly his junior year didn't play as much but has fond memories of the team led by West.

Jacobs spent 18 seasons as basketball analyst on MSN-TV and worked through the years with play-by-play announcers: Jack Fleming, Woody O'Hara and Tony Caridi.
Today, he works for the university and MSN providing color analysis on the radio with Tony Caridi as they cover the men's basketball games.
