Favorite "Lights Out" Performances

We lost but he was incredible against Purdue. That dunk he had late in the game I'll always remember.

He really got it going the second half. If he had a 1st half even close to that we win the game.

I think this is LaFester's win with little argument, but I love all the other memories. This thread cost me several hours today and this evening rewatching the Iowa LaFester game and the Barry vs. Missouri game that was also coming out for Jeff Hornacek. One that hasn't been mentioned is John Neal's two critical three pointers against Iowa.

I recall Tyrus McGee having a stretch in the 2013 KU game where he couldn't miss a three and it kept us in that game before the Niang block that was a charge.

Hogue scoring 34 points in MSG against UCONN. Had to be pretty special for him doing that as a native New Yorker

I am right now rewatching the home Houston game two years ago. That team with Jones, King, etc just has a piece of my heart. Every single 50/50 ball was life or death, and they went after rebounds like rabid dogs. For those who don't remember we start the game with a 14-0 lead and I have to say no crowd can rock it like a cyclone crowd. Even two years later, it gives me great joy!

Yeah, we jumped in them out of the gate and gave them a taste of what they had been feeding others!

Brockington against WVU. Efficient 35 and 5 with the game winning steal/basket!

The Lafester Rhodes game against Iowa was magical. My student ticket for that game was six rows from the court behind the basket. It was truely an amazing experience. My friends and I had so much fun.

The Ejim game is the first one that came to my mind, he was unstoppable that day.

The game Fizer dropped 35 on Texas and the poster dunk over Mihm was the cherry on top of that game he dominated. Fizer's line was:
35 pts
13-25 shooting (2-2 on 3's)
8-9 FT
9 rebounds
5 assists
2 blocks
2 steals
2 turnovers

I was at that game, he WAS unstoppable.

LaFester easily gets my vote, but for us old-timers Barry Stevens game v (#5?) Mizzou was also a classic. Not sure of his stat line, but it included the game winning buzzer beater so that gets extra credit.

Sort of weird that I can't think of a single Jeff Grayer game in this category given how awesome he was. I'm sure there's at least one.

Grayer had something like 42 in a loss at an Indiana.

The semester break ticket package was fantastic. I was 4 rows behind the Iowa State bench. We were also lucky to get the Kansas game before the semester started.

I didn’t get to go to that game as my sister was getting married. There were 20+ of us, watching it in a hotel room with a snow and beer filled bathtub. There was only one Hawk fan in the room, but she didn’t like Jeff Moe either, so we let her stay.
