Roberto Duran’s two fists were called “Manos de Piedra.” They were the hands of stone.

Pro Wrestling had the Road Warriors – Animal and Hawk.

The Oakland A’s once had the flexing sluggers, Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire – the Bash Brothers.

The dynamic duo of Wright State’s basketball team – Brandon Noel and Alex Huibregtse – said they have no nickname, but their coach said they do have quite a narrative.

“It’s a story everybody loves,” WSU’s Clint Sargent said Saturday afternoon as he stood on the edge of the Millett Hall court following his team’s come from behind, 81-68 kayo of the Miami Redhawks.

In this – the 39th meeting between WSU and Miami – the Raiders had their own pair of road warriors.
