Oklahoma St when the floor was shaking
Kansas the year we beat them and they went on to win the national championship with Danny Manning
Michigan St. with Scott Skiles
Iowa with Lafester scoring 54.
Those are the first ones that come to my mind.
The '99 McDonalds All-America Game :tongue:
No need to go any further...Quote:

I was there too. That was the one where Johnathan Bender broke Michael Jordan's scoring record in the game. Lot of big name players in the game that made the NBA like Mike Dunleavy, Carlos Boozer, Casey Jacobsen, Jason Kapono, Keith Bogans, Nick Collison, Brian Cook, DeMarr Johnson, Jason Richardson, and Jay Williams.Quote:

Hinrich I think fouled out of all 4 games trying to gaurd Tinsley.
I forgot the Texas game Fizer vs. Mihm.
Another game I just thought of, I can't remember who it was but it was Eustachy's first seson I think and was a game during the winter break. Mike Nurse had just got hit by a car that Sunday and I think it was a Thursday night game. Nurse was not even suited up in the first half and we were getting killed by some no-name team. Fizer gets his 4th foul early in the 2nd half then all the sudden here comes Nurse off the bench all taped up from his injurys. The first shot he takes is at least 5+ feet behind the 3 point line which I yelled "what are you doing???" right before it swished. He scored like 13 points and got us back in the game which we eventually won. This from a guy that had just got hit by a car walking across the street 4 days earlier. Nurse became one of my favorite players after watching that gutsy performance.
I just read a great quote about that game:Quote:

Fizer was unstoppable down the stretch that year. Didn't he have like 4-5 straight games with 29+ points?Quote:

If you doubled down on the big guy you better not leave one of the guards alone because they'd make you pay.Quote:
