Acie Boyd Earl (born June 23, 1970) is a retired American professional basketball player, who appeared in four NBA seasons, as a 6'10" 240 lb (110 kg) center.
Born in Peoria, Illinois, Earl was a star basketball player from Moline High School playing varsity-level basketball for three seasons. He led the Maroons to a 23-4 record in 1988, along with future NFL All-Pro Brad Hopkins. Earl is also currently the number 7th leading all-time scorer in Moline basketball history.
Earl played college basketball at the University of Iowa, being a key recruit for Tom Davis' Hawkeyes. He appeared in 22 games in his first-year season, with an average of 6 points in 16 minutes, but still managed 50 blocked shots in limited playing time.
In his second season, Earl became a key force in the Big Ten Conference, averaging 16.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, with 106 total blocked shots. Iowa made it to the 1991 NCAA Tournament where they were defeated by eventual champions Duke Blue Devils in the second round.
In his junior year, Earl slightly improved his numbers (managing to block an average of four shots a game), while the college made it to the 1992 NCAA Tournament, only to lose, again in the second round and against Duke (also the eventual winners), 75-62, with Earl blocking 8 shot attempts, one shy of the all-time tournament record held by David Robinson.
With Earl still putting up strong numbers in 1992-93, Iowa again lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, now to Wake Forest.
