Bouie played for Jim Boeheim during the first four years of Boeheim’s Syracuse career, helping the coach establish himself with a pair of Sweet 16 runs and a Big East championship. The 6’11 center was a second-round pick of the Mavericks, but chose to pursue a successful career in Italy. His running mate, Louis Orr, also had his jersey retired in the same ceremony.
