Most Memorable Game-Winning Basket at Hilton Coliseum

[Bryeclone7]

As we all saw last night, Georges Niang made the game-winning basket against West Virginia. With this in mind, what is the most memorable game-winning basket that you have seen at Hilton? This could be past or present.

Mine is Scott Christopherson's three to win against Oklahoma State.

Thoughts?

Royce vs KSU was fun ... mainly because I hate KSU bball fans . (although I did love Frank Martin)

That I've been in attendance for, definitely Scotty Thug Life's 3 against Oky Lite. Royce and George's were great but still had that last little bit of time left to be a little nervous that the other team might make a shot. Scotty's goes in after the buzzer sounds, the place erupts, students on chairs in the student section. Good times. I look forward to continuing to be a very spoiled student here Hilton Magic-wise.

In person, it's Thug Life Scotty C.

For heartbreak's sake, the one Dodie Dunson hit against Drake that was waved off.

Yeah I've only been going since McDermotts last year, so it isn't a complete list, but I'd go like this:

1. Scotty vs OSU
2. Babb vs KU (not a buzzer beater but clinched it)
3. Royce vs KSU
4. Georges vs WVU

And I absolutely put my foot through a chair in Cyclone Alley celebrating the Scotty buzzerbeater.

Vanderbeeken's three against Creighton

This. I know I went nuts.

Vanderbeeken's three against Creighton

That was in Wells Fargo Arena. Eh, close enough.

Okay it wasn't at Hilton, but my favorite would be Jeff Hornacek's shot in the 1986 NCAA that tied the game and send it to overtime, then Hornacek hit the game-winning shot in overtime, a 26-ft jumper at the buzzer

Vanderbeeken's three against Creighton

*Technically not Hilton....

While i wouldnt say that one was terribly memorable (and the jimlad justified) i would say that it was important, in that it was a bit of a cathartic win for the program, wiping away the old regime. It wouldve sucked to lose to GMac months after he left.

Best road game winner would be a better topic... Much more to choose from...


Id go

1. Thigpen at CU

2. Rancik at Nebraska


Those are the 2 best game winners in my lifetime.

I didn't enjoy Scotty's 3 because I was so ****** off at the way we were playing. I literally didn't even care at that point I wa so mad. It's a shame that I didn't let myself enjoy it.

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

Thug lyfe for sure

 

[CyberJJJ]

I liked the one Grayer hit as a Freshman to beat Drake at the last second.

2. Rancik at Nebraska


Those are the 2 best game winners in my lifetime.

Little soft jumper that was 2 of 54 for Lafester. His shot at the end of the first half was a little more spectacular but that little jumper clinched the game.

 

[Psiclone]

Grayer hitting the winning jumper vs. Drake his first year. Portend of things to come.

 

[EatemupISU]

1999. Marcus Fizer's dunk to beat Kansas in the last game of Eustchy's first year. We were a bad team but pulled off the upset to finish the season.

 

[Clones21]

JVB's shot against CU. It was the year after McD left....and whoa...what an awesome time at The Well.

 

[Cyclonepride]

In person, yeah, OSU. That game had the feel of a loss on it's way, and that was just a shocker.
