Might be fun to have a thread featuring on golden oldie K-State game each week, if they exist.

Hook shot, set shot, high socks, short shorts ... what an era! And a friendly and cartoonish Willie to boot.

So will playing in a new modern arena that is comparable to an NBA venue affect our players? I will be interested in seeing how we react to a hostile crowd. I would like to think our experience will make both a mute point.

I guess it would be similar to Sprint Center. We've done pretty well there in recent years. I think these guys proved last year that hostile crowds don't affect them. They've taken KU to the wire last two years in Lawrence. Also, Kentucky had a huge, hostile crowd in the Sweet 16 last year with no effect.

I am still confused about why tip shots were not allowed. One more reason why God hates K-State.

One moment, it looked like K-State was on the verge of sending the game to overtime. The next, the game was over. Trailing Marquette 67-64 in the final minute of the 1977 regional finals, Darryl Winston hit a tip-in layup while being fouled. But tips weren’t considered controlled shots at the time, so the basket was waved off. Instead of counting the basket and going to the free-throw line with a chance to tie the game, as would be the case under current rules, Winston went to the free-throw line with his team trailing by three. He made both free throws, and K-State lost. The NCAA adopted the “Winston Rule” the following year, allowing tips to be counted despite fouls, but that meant little to Winston. He vowed never to return to Oklahoma City, where the game was played.
When he was fouled, he wasn't "in the act of shooting" as the rules didn't consider a tip a shot. Therefore he got a one and one.
