That was basically everytime Julious Michalik shot a three. One of my favorite players ever
I have to say the Burton was the king of that emotional roller coaster.
That game at KU after down 17 the first half was crazy. He was lights out for a 10 min stretch and everyone fed off it.

For the next installment of the Pro Insight Q&A series, we present 2023 prospect Marcus Fizer, Jr., from Las Vegas, Nevadawww.prospectiveinsight.com
Q: "Do you have a dream school?"
MF: I guess I would say Iowa State, but I think second would be Kentucky or Duke. As long as I’m playing that’s good, if I get to that next level that’s fine by me.
Be a great story if he becomes big 12 caliber and follow his Dads footsteps to Iowa State. Loved watching Fizer play
Funny, I remember that too, just after a wall sit contest IIRC.
Not to mention that the same year that Fizer went pro, we also had the #1 Juco recruit in the country ruled ineligible because of some ridiculous reason like he was paid meal per diems as a teenager playing amateur basketball in Australia. Others on this board could probably recall the details better. If Fizer had come back and that guy not been ineligible, we would Have been the overwhelming favorite for the national title.
Fizer was set to return to Ames but his parent's house burned down so he turned pro to get money for them to rebuild.
I didn't need to know that and I need to have a word with his parents. They could have waited another year to tell him. Stupid people.
I may be getting my screw jobs by the NCAA mixed up but I think he was the one who didn't actually get paid at all but others in the league did get paid which made it a pro league and therefore playing in it destroyed his eligibility. Never mind that other players (two, I think) from the same league were playing at NCAA schools at that very time. I never heard a rationale why those players were eligible and he wasn't.
Huh, you learn something new everyday. God damn electrical fire sunk our first chance at a National Championship.
I really hope you are not being serious and you can CLEARLY see that was a joke. I’m mean come on man.
I don't know for sure, but I think that was somebody a little more recent than that. I'm probably wrong but Lucca Staiger pops into my head thinking about that issue you talked about.
Good. I have heard worse stuff through the last few months here and people were dead serious so I don't know what to believe anymore. I'm glad it was just a dumb joke.
