SLTH memories

[Trim]

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.

Yeah, but you're an idiot.

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.
