Man, that is tough.Here is a question. Bayless/Thigpen or Stinson/Blalock?
I'd lean Bayless/Thigpen.

That's easy for me. Bayless/Thigpen by a wide margin IMO.
I agree, Bayless and Thigpen get the edge because of their outside shooting, and I think they may also have had a little better cast around them. I remember Big Vic was in the middle but I can't remember who the forwards were.
JT's shot against the Buffs was probably my greatest Cyclone memory as a kid.I won't take the time to look it up so I could be wrong. JT might have played with Vic, but I don't think Bayless did as he came in as a juco iirc. As jrs and srs they played with Hoiberg, Meyer and Julo, along with Howard Eaton, Morgan Wheat etc. Those teams couldn't do much on the road, but they were lethal at home. JT basically won the infamous OSU game single handed as a junior and I'll never forget his running 3 pointer as time expired at CU that punched our ticket to the dance.
I also remember Dickie V. pimping KU's Rex Walters and Adonnis Jordan as the best backcourt in the country just a few days before they were shown up by Bayless and Thigpen and their top 5 team was taken out in Hilton. I had my nosebleed seats in the student rotation for that game. I almost passed out from yelling so loud. Good times.
JT and Bayless were sophs when V was a senior.
I'm a big Klay Edwards fan myself......I was always a big Stevie Johnson and Martin Rancik fan.

Yet no rep? Not much of a fan.....:wink:Didn't he put up like 64 points in a game at Columbus Junction one year and didn't even touch the court in the fourth quarter? :wideeyed: Anyway CIMD, I can verify you're his favorite CF'er!! BTW, you should see his rockin' new beard.
Cato may have a slight edge on Homan, but imo not much. Homan was also a good shot blocker and defender, and I remember him as more of an offensive threat than Cato, especially as a senior. And like Chris said, Homan brought a toughness and attitude to the team that doesn't show up in the stat sheets but makes the team better. Down the stretch his senior year I thought he was the best center in the Big 12.
Same here! It was one of the first buzzer-beaters I'd ever seen. Just an awesome shot! And to hear Dave Armstrong call that shot--"IOWA STATE WINS IT!!! WOW, WOW, WOWWWWW!!" So classic. Plus it ended a really long road losing streak in the conference. Justus is one of my all-time favorites!JT's shot against the Buffs was probably my greatest Cyclone memory as a kid.
