Maurice Brittian dead at 37Played with GT in 89-90 after transferring from Hutchinson JC; 6th pick in 1991 CBA Draft

Just read an article over on scout.com, that mentioned the passing of former Georgia Tech center, Maurice Brittian. What a sad story, as "Mo" was one of my favorite players during the 89-90 campaign. I can still remember me and my brother Rudy saying, "Go Big Mo". Maurice gave us some great minutes off the bench, and only played one season at Georgia Tech, before transferring to Kansas State. Prior to coming to Georgia Tech, Maurice played 2 years at Hutchinson Junior College. Maurice was a 6th Round Draft Pick in the 1991 CBA draft, going to Sioux Falls. The following was found on Scout.com. God Bless Mo, and we'll see you in heaven big fella.
