You Need One 3-Pointer...

[tru2ou]

You're the head coach of OU and you can have your choice of any current or past player to take a 3 pointer for you...

Who do you choose?

Suggestions...
- Dave Sieger
- Mookie Blaylock
- Tim McAllister
- Brent Price
- Hollis Price

Anyone else?


I'd choose Seiger to make a 3. The guy was an amazing shooter. He couldnt move at all but if got a look, it was going down.

Calvin Curry. 'Cause you know that no matter what, he'd get the shot off. It may not go in, but he wouldn't wait for it to be open-or even across half court.

[CobraKai]

Brent Price for me...

Yes, I am convinced that if Calvin Curry could see the basket, it was within his range.

For me, Terry Evans.
From your list, Price, either one. They are the only two from your list that actually won games with a three, if I remember correctly.

[Big Red Ron]

Calvin Curry without question! Nate Erdman would be my second pick.

[NormanPride]

How many game-winning 3s did Hollis have?

[jk the sooner fan]

Dave Siegler

[SleestakSooner]

David Little

[Scott D]

just to be different Ricky Grace

[LittleWingSooner]

Hollis Price was just clutch. There are better 3 point shooters on that list but Price was Mr. Clutch.

[King Crimson]

McCallister never made a big shot to win a game. he missed a lot of them though.

i got drunk with him a couple times at the Deli in the late 90's. decent enough guy.

Hollis. David Little is a good choice, but there wasn't a 3 point line then. my Dad tells a great story about being at Gallagher Hall the year Little hits that last second in the key jumper to beat the pokes......and trying to get out of the gym as fast as possible.

Didn't he drop one his freshman year to win a first round game at the Big 12?

longar longar;)

[Taxman71]

Terry Evans...if the game were against Kansas.
David Little...if the game were against the pukes.
Stacey King...if it was a 75 footer.

GARRET HARTLEY! He's money everytime!

Oh wait...wrong forum.

Ryan Minor, as a junior.

[oumartin]

Jan Panel?

Jan Panel?

don't you mean Linwood Davis?

[SouthCarolinaSooner]

I'm going to go with Tim Heskett, who my dad coached in high school.

Brent Price is my power animal.

[King Crimson]

before Heskitt hurt his thumb, i think he led the conference in all-time 3 point %.

i was a big Timmy Heskitt fan.

[C&CDean]

Erin Higgins.

[jk the sooner fan]

i was kidding about Dave Siegler

man i must have been stationed abroad during the Brent Price days because i just dont remember much about him

Id probably have to go with Hollis Price

[SouthCarolinaSooner]

Erin Higgins.
If it is a "Shooting A Games Winning Three and Looking Hot Doing It" contest then-
HECK YEAH

[tommieharris91]

Hollis Price. Kid could shoot like crazy.

[poke4christ]

this is probably just becuase I'm young and don't know about many other guys, but Price. He was the man from the three. Don't remember how clutch he was though. I was focused more on OSU at the time, even if Price did take them to the final four.

[GottaHavePride]

Yeah, I'd say Heskett in his sophomore year was just scary good. If not him, Hollis Price.

Nobody's really talking about Mookie, but I believe he still holds the school record for 3's made in a game with 11.

Every dawg has his day ;)

[Big Red Ron]

I'm surprized that Nate Erdman isn't getting any more love than he has. He was a one trick pony and that trick was the Three Ball.

He won the NCAA all star three point contest, in addition to being the main man here after Minor left.

[soonercody]

Calvin Curry. 'Cause you know that no matter what, he'd get the shot off. It may not go in, but he wouldn't wait for it to be open-or even across half court.

Heh! :D That was my first thought.
When he was hot he was hot.
CC was in my freshman English class. Gave me his comp tix to a game against Calipari's UMASS team so I could take my nephew. So I gave him a kidney.

Oh seriously, Hollis.

Before I opened the thread and read your post, Hollis came to mind first but Seiger was the guy who I decided on.

When I was a kid, during Seiger's day, I looked like a young version of him.

Now you look an awful lot like coach...:cool:

[Big Red Ron]

Nobody's really talking about Mookie, but I believe he still holds the school record for 3's made in a game with 11.Yep, he was also a glove on defense. After Tisdale, King and Price (both of them), I think Mookie is one of the best player in OU history.

[King Crimson]

mookie was a phreak. we were beating Virginia 13-0 before they got the ball across midcourt....mook was abusing their point guard.

[Paperclip]

He won the NCAA all star three point contest

And then proceeded to lose to the women's winner. :)

[BigRedJed]

I've got to go with Hollis, but Mookie was a great one. You couldn't go wrong with either. Maybe I should run down the hall and ask David Little who he'd pick.

do it.

Well... just tell him his name came up under this topic. I used to love watching that guy drain the long shots with a hand right in his face. It usually happened when the Sooners needed a score the most too!

[BigRedJed]

Well, I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Unlike me, he doesn't work too late. Must have something to do with some of the huge lawsuits he's won.

[LittleWingSooner]

Mookie was a great player. One of the best to ever play at OU. But for a last shot of any kind I would take Hollis.

[TopDawg]

And, yes, the fact that I looked like Seiger means that I did have a mullet.

[BigRedJed]

Heh.

[goingoneight]

GARRET HARTLEY! He's money everytime!

Dammit, beat me to it. :D

[soonerndn]

I'm going with 'Ski.

[GoState]

Freakin' David Little. I still remember when he put up a last second shot from way out against us for the win in 1983ish. He played before the three...but I have no doubt he would've made a crap ton of them if it were available to him back then.

For the question at hand though, I'd go for Hollis Price as well. He was one hell of a competitor. I'd want the ball in his hands in closing seconds of a tight game.

[fwsooner22]

BO Overton............

All you guys using girls as an answer.....thats a smaller ball they are tossing up....never forget that it is only a level playing field until they need something........like a smaller ball.

[Paperclip]

Freakin' David Little. I still remember when he put up a last second shot from way out against us for the win in 1983ish.

It wasn't that far out. Maybe 10 feet.

[King Crimson]

It wasn't that far out. Maybe 10 feet.

it was about halfway between the top of the key and the FT line, kind of a leaner.

[TopDawg]

This brings up an interesting point. If we have time to run a set play, I might lean more toward Seiger or 2005-06 Michael Neal.

If we're just scrambling to get it off, Hollis.

In either scenario, I'd like the ball in Hollis' hands in the closing seconds. If the set play works, pass it off. If it doesn't, he was actually pretty good at shooting the three off the dribble.
