Benny Anders Biography
Benny Anders is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on October 3, 1963 in Monroe, Louisiana, United States.
Anders achieved his fame while playing for the Cougars. Despite the fact that he was mostly a role player who came off the bench, Anders had a significant impact on some of the Cougar’s biggest victories, mainly due to his style of play that featured some of the NCAA’s most memorable dunks. During the 1983 Final Four between Houston and Louisville, Anders executed two violent dunks, one of which occurred with Houston holding an eight-point lead with less than thirty seconds to play. The reverse dunk was characterized by his teammate Reid Gettys as one of the most “selfish plays” he had ever seen. In the championship game against North Carolina State University’s “Wolfpack”, Anders nearly stole the ball with seconds left in the game, but North Carolina State’s Derek Whittenburg gained possession and his air ball miss was caught by teammate Lorenzo Charles who scored as time ran out, securing the victory for the Wolfpack.
The 1984 NCAA tournament marked the end of Anders’s college career as a knee injury kept him from playing in the 1985 season. A subsequent on-campus weapons charge earned him three years’ probation and eventual dismissal from the Cougars.
Benny Michael Anders (born October 3, 1963) is a former star player at the Guy Lewis-coached University of Houston basketball teams during the early 1980s.

Anders clashed with Cougars coach Guy Lewis during the 1984 season and quit the team for several weeks before deciding to return. After his return, he was relegated to the bench but once again made the trip to the Final Four where the Cougars appeared in the semi-finals against the University of Virginia and in the finals against Georgetown University. Anders played sparingly in both games and is best remembered showing up to the tournament wearing a tuxedo with a pink bow tie, pink cummerbund, and sunglasses. His appearance caught the attention of fans, and after Kentucky’s elimination (in the Final Four, to Georgetown), many of that team’s fans showed up to the final wearing sunglasses. One of the fans held a sign that read “Benny Anders for President.” After the Cougars’ loss, Anders spent the night drinking with John Gambill, the Kentucky fan who had held the sign. The following week, Gambill received a package from Anders in the mail containing his uniform.
