Your 3 Most-Hated Big8/Big12 Cyclone Basketball Opponents

[GetAwesome]

This is a spin-off of @Die4Cy's thread on the 3 players that most contributed to our love of Hilton and Cyclone basketball.

Pondering my answers brought up quite a few rage-filled nostalgic feelings of Big8/Big12 opponents who drove me mad. So let's have it, which three former Big8/Big12 opposing team members are your Hilton Magic villains?

Mine are:

1. Bryant "Big Country" Reeves. That flattop alone annoyed the piss out of me.
2. Kirk Hinrich/Nick Collison. Every single minute this duo from the Phog was on the floor annoyed me that we lost them when Floyd jumped to Chicago.
3. Quin Snyder's hair. 'Nough said. He always looked like a comic book henchman.

Jeff Withey - if the refs correctly call a foul on him, we don’t get hosed in 2012

Marcus Smart - he just flopped again while I wrote this comment

Tyrese Hunter

For me, most are from the 80's and 90's when guys actually stayed at a school for 4 years so you would remember them. Many spelling errors to come...

Kansas - Jeff Boeche, Greg Oostertag, Jacque Vaughn and pretty much everyone else. Too many to name.
K-State - Nobody really stands out - maybe Jacob Pullen and that really speedy guy on the same team.
Oklahoma - Eduardo Najera and Ryan Minor
Ok St - Bryant Reeves, Randy Rutherford, Keiton Page, Phil Forte
Nebraska - Cookie Belcher, Tyron Lue, Eric Piatkowski - they had some good teams. It's funny they have never won an NCAA game
Colorado - Chauncy Billups
Missouri - Melvin Booker and Anthony Peeler were a tough duo. And Jason Sutherland was a punk!

I'm stopping at the Big 8. Those were the glory days.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Steve Henson - KSt, Rex Walters - KU, Greg Ostertag - KU

I had forgotten about Najera and that little red headed midget Paige. They belong in the list for sure.

 

[diaclone]

Anthony Peeler, Jason Sutherland, and the NU player that got into a fight with Grayer. Cannot remember is name though.

Hated jacque Vaughn.... **** vitale could not stop sucking his d*ck.

 

[matt]

Derrick Grimm from Mo. was a dink of the highest order…

Steve Henson - KSt, Rex Walters - KU, Greg Ostertag - KU

I never liked Rick King from Nebraska either.

This will be shocking, but Kansas.
Kansas must be destroyed.

I swear they had a decade long run of those guys.

Anthony Peeler, Jason Sutherland, and the NU player that got into a fight with Grayer. Cannot remember is name though.

Man that Antler's section at Mizzou was legendary and not for good reasons.
