Roger Crawford was injured and out of the last few games in the tourney, 31 was his #.

A player (a senior) who got hurt and missed the tournament games. Was his name Roger Crawford?

It was also the number of wins we had that year. Someone pointed that out when they put the patches on the uniforms late in the season...that the goal was to get 31.

Also, Nolan said if they won it would represent 31 wins for the season!

Crawford's number AND the number of victories required for championship per Nolan in an interview
