[Original TULSAFAN]

I was in a bar in Chicago burbs
When shot went in I screamed the F word probably 100 times at least —-while walking out the door in disgust

not my finest moment

re round 2 vs Wisconsin

nevermind...

that crap occurred in the 2003 tourney

I’m losing it

 

[I.I.]

Wide open corner three................Badgers.....gooooooood............... Worst moment in TU tournament history.....followed by the last minute meltdown in 1996 against Louisville when Rod fouled out leaving us no PG.

That shot from an Aussi "ringer". Back then, there weren't too many furriners playing college hoops. I believe that the guy played for the Australian men's national b'ball team.

OK Fine! I'm old, give me a break! It was a KIWI named Penney. He hit a 3 from the corner in da Badgers comeback just before the above winner, as my wife, a UWhiskey-Madison grad reminds me. At least I got the area of planet Earth correct where Penney is from.
