That’s almost painful to watch.

I remember laughing at how TCU had the worst coach I’d ever see after points 35 and 37.

BEING GOOD WAS FUN!

BEING BAD SUCKS!

 

[JP4CY]

I was there too and I remember thinking all thru the game, has he missed a shot?

We need the video of Hilton chanting the man's name.

Then we can all do it again when we hang his jersey.

I know its an exaggeration, but it feels like have those buckets were alley oops. I miss those teams so much...

Man the way those guys fought for rebounds was a thing of beauty.

Man the way those guys fought for rebounds was a thing of beauty.

The rebounds, the passing, the scoring, the dunks, the passion. That was good stuff.
And the defense really wasn't too bad, either.

 

[HFCS]

the three ally oops in a row is hilarious to watch

 

[Gunnerclone]

Damn it was good to have Fred roaming the sideline.

Which should be a reminder for all of us...never take a good thing for granted. Fortunes can change quick- join the Cyclone Club. If you were a member last year- increase your contribution for this year.

One of my all time favorite players. Best moment when he flipped off the BYU crowed after they were yelling racist ****.

Also, player development was so good under Hoiberg. I remember when Melvin was a freshman and could barely dribble and shot like 20% from 3. Seeing him develop into conference player POY was awesome.
