I remember watching this game on television. I can't be the only Cyclone Alum who held student season tickets for three years (when i was a student) who was remembering a game that happened years earlier, Cyclones ahead by one with only a few seconds left, the other team's (perhaps Missouri) star player, an 80+% foul shooter, made a drive to the basket, needed to make 1 to tie, 2 to win, and unbelievably missed BOTH because of the noise and floor shaking in Hilton. So when I saw nearly the same situation on Television with Darwyn Alexander I knew what was possible. That magic was that it actually happened again.
There were so many years between Johnny Orr basketball, and Hoiberg uptempo basketball, I think in those years, fans somewhat forgot how to be so noisy (or their numbers were low enough, they couldn't get too noisy). During the Orr era, I remember it was one of my special pleasures to shut up for a second or two in the middle of the screaming, just to feel the vibrations of the floor.
