Title: SLTH memories

K-State will match up in the second round Friday against a coach who steered Iowa State from the Big Eight into the Big 12 while coaching the Cyclones from 1994-98.

Tim Floyd is in his second year at UTEP and guided the Miners to a 61-48 victory against Clemson on Thursday.

“We’re a young, young team,” Floyd said of a roster containing seven freshmen. “We won like we did back in the Big 12, playing some ugly basketball.”

A big smile came across Floyd’s face when asked about former K-State coach Jim Wooldrige, his old college teammate at Louisiana Tech. The two maintain contact at least twice a week, Floyd said, with Wooldridge in his fifth season as the head coach at Cal-Riverside.

“Talk about a guy who just couldn’t catch a break (at K-State). How many one-point games did they play with him there?” Floyd recalled. “He’s the best, best friend a guy could ever have. I love him.”

I'll never forget Wooly's best SLTH loss.


Drew Lavender going coast to coast in 4 seconds for the game winning layup.


Second might  be blowing an 8 point lead with 1:15 to go to lose to an average Ostate team.



Jim was a legend. He could grab defeat from victory from anyone.

I find it incredibly easy to hate him, actually.

OU 2001. We had a one-point lead and the ball with about ten seconds left. Quentin Buchanon inbounds the ball right to an OU player who proceeds to run down and score the winning layup.

I went to and WON Jim's first Father/Son basketball camp.

Jim had a great voice. Easy to like the guy, but always going to break your heart.

The loss to OU with Siebrandt was the worst loss I have ever witnessed.

I think my personal favorite Wooly loss was the one to Baylor, when they didnt have a non con that year and we still lost to them. The game wasnt on tv so you had to listen to wyattvision and we went to overtime and loss. Just a great Wooly memory. Long live the neckbrace!

I used to like it in like year five when we were still using the he's just snake bitten excuse.  Man, we had it down back in those days.  What a treat to relive those memories.
