Most important Cyclone Moment

If you want to go the route of missed opportunities with players then Rice does rank right up there. So does Collison, Heinrich, CJ Bruton, and Gerrod Henderson.

President Robert Parks pulling the plug on the hiring of ISU alum John Cooper. Max Urick had no fall back hire and we end up with Jim Criner.

Forgot that. Cooper wanted to come here like nobodies' business, and said so several times in public.

He's still a big ISU fan.

Hiring Johnny Orr. To make it comparable today it by like hiring Roy Williams away from North Carolina. And he never left ISU!

Johnny brought instant respect to our basketball program and our progress through the 90's would have never occured without the foundation he laid. Hilton Magic was coined in the Johnny Orr days.

No doubt about it!!!!!

I also need to add losing both Sam Mack and Mark Baugh in the same year really hurt the team. With both of them and Big Vic we would have had a really good front line...

I really think with Mack and Baugh we might have seen the Elite 8 a decade sooner. Good points Cydar!!!
