It was but does anyone know what it was about?

The assistance were out of the coaching box, trying to get more time put back on the clock in, or was shouting that that should be a technical. In the handshake line, they brought it back up, and Johnny took offense.

I was a jr in HS.

I wasn't born yet.

I believe he only had 4 points, but he defended 7-ft Brad Lohaus. It was an amazing victory

right. Virgil was listed at 6'4", but if he was that tall, he might have weighed about 170, and he played great d on Lohaus.

At that time you could by tickets for games when the students were on break. That game and Kansas were part of the package. Did we beat Danny Manning at that time? Anyway it was completely crazy, lots of fun.
Go Cyclones.

If Danny Manning was playing in Hilton ISU beat him.

If Danny Manning was playing in Hilton ISU beat him.

Larry Brown coached at Kansas for 4 years and never won at Hilton.

I was more impressed with how Ron matched up with Roy Tarpley (RIP) of Michigan to get us to the Sweet 16. If the other team was going to fast break 3-on-1 vs ISU, two of the most effective defenders I watched at ISU were Ron Virgil (dude had looooonnnng arms) or Jeff Hornacek.

I'll admit I'm an old guy. I was at this game as a student.

You're a spring chicken. I was at this game 7 years after getting my B.S. at ISU.

I believe so because if I remember right Danny Manning never won a game in Ames.
I was working in Wisconsin at the time and was coming home or going to work and stopped on a top of a hill and heard the end of the game.

This is correct. Manning never won as a player in Hilton.

Big day for me and it had nothing to do with basketball

 

[cytor]

God bless Johnny Orr.... he was the best!

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

I didn’t know we were supposed to mark down every day we got action.

Gotta have one to mark it down.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Memory is fading but didn't he have a steal at the scorers table that ended in a dunk?

Worth watching just for the team intros. Loaded squads. B.J. Armstrong, Roy Marble and Jeff Grayer, school all-timers.

 

[Cyfan1965]

Forgot about the Iowa assistant trying to attack Johnny after the game. We were going wild so I missed it.

 

[t-noah]

Isn’t that the game one of the IA assistants got into it with Orr after the game?

Yup. Right here.

 

[t-noah]

That was just an amazing game…an added bonus for me was I won a $50 bet with a friend re the spelling of Mr Rhodes’ first name. His choice is commemorated with every post I do here.

You need to post more!!

 

[NATEizKING]

My first ISU/Iowa basketball experience, 21 days old. And we've kicked their ass ever since.

 

[KnappShack]

Yup. Right here.

Watched a few minutes and saw Big Victor Alexander, future strip club owner Jeff Moe, Grayer doing his best Curly Neal, and Johnny getting into it with a coach.

Only thing missing was Morganna the Kissing Bandit!

 

[Cyvilian]

Awesome game to be at. I think my ears rang for a couple days after.

Mine as well. Awesome atmosphere!
