What are is fondness memories from 99-00 team?
- Thread starter A_storm_is_comin
- Start date
A couple of things:
1. That OSU/UT home stretch where I finally realized we had a team that could really win the conference and maybe the national title.
2. The weekend in KC and an awesome title game beat down against OU.
3. Killing UCLA. The whole week, UCLA fans online were saying "How are you going to guard Kapono? How are you going to guard Rush? How are you going to guard Moishu?". They threw lobs all over Maryland. ISU just undercut them and the lob wasn't there. UCLA folded and Tinsley put on a display...I almost felt sorry for Earl Watson. Then, a horde of students congregated on LW and Welch, actually stopping traffic on LW.

This is a small thing, but I was a senior in high school and we were having lunch at a buddy's house off campus. A press conference for the tourney came on and it was Larry and some players. We just sat there and watched the whole thing and were completely late for class and just didn't care.
This was my gut response too. I remember being terrified prior to that game thanks to all the media hype. I was also 11 and very impressionable. Made the blowout win feel so much better.
