Playing career High school Suber grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and attended Schenley High School. He starred there, leading the entire city in scoring his senior year en route to being named the Pittsburgh City League Player of the Year. Despite his success he was only offered one NCAA Division I scholarship to play basketball, by St. Francis in Brooklyn, New York. Darrick was named to the East Coast Conference All-Rookie Team. Suber's next season saw his scoring average jump to 18.2 points per game as the Broncs finished with an improved 14–16 overall record, including a runner-up finish in the 1991 East Coast Conference tournament.

Darrick was named the NEC tournament MVP, the All-NEC First Team, and became the first Rider player selected as the NEC Player of the Year. During the NEC tournament championship game against Wagner, Suber made the most famous basket in Rider men's basketball history, dubbed "The Shot" by the media. With Wagner leading by one point and only seconds remaining in the game, Suber made an end-to-end drive and shot a 12-foot, game-winning basket at the buzzer, live on ESPN, that sent the sold out Alumni Gym crowd into a frenzy and sent Rider to its second-ever NCAA championship field of 64. It is a replay that is shown every March during the NCAA Division I tournament broadcast compilations of buzzer-beaters which helped propel teams into the national tournament.

Suber became the first men's basketball player to have a jersey number retired at Rider (later joined by Thompson).
