Or am I misremembering Jason Terry pulling the exact same dumbass stunt?

Folks in Albuquerque celebrated that OU win over Arizona almost as much as OU fans did, because of how Arizona whined about losing to UNM in the Pit earlier in the season. It also marked one of many UofA losses in the NCAA to teams with a seed in the teens.
Terry was the one who missed the last second shot that would've won it.
My bad. Coulda sworn it was Jason Terry that stepped on the line.
Plus, nobody on Missouri touched the ball in the cylinder this year.

That was a crazy game indeed. I was lucky enough to be TD at that one.
I remember listening to the game on the radio-I was working at the Norwest Financial home office at the time, so the radio had to be right against the window.
Anyhow, mainly because of that game (and the win over Charlotte, right?) I ended up taking 2nd in the company pool. Something like 150 participants.
Also, that run to the Sweet 16 prompted Kelvin's best-ever interview. Right in the middle, you can distincly hear a flush. Dude was taking a leak while answering questions from the media.

not with Alex Spaulding up in his stuff, he wasn't going to make it.

Yeah, Alex did a great job on him that game. He also had a really good game against UNC-Charlotte and Michigan State. He started to come into his own late in that season...then transfered.
I thought he either quit or got kicked off the team.

i was being a little sarcastic about Alex, but he did hold NBA player Jason Terry to 12 or 14 points or something. he hit some big 3's for us too.
my recollect is that he quit the team and joined the Army, ?

There were quite a few players in that span of OU history who just didn't work out the way they were supposed to. They all contributed, but they just didn't seem to ever put things together. Like Kelly Newton. That guy was supposed to be a long-range gunner like nobody'd ever seen. He'd get hot every now and then, but what'd he finish his career behind the arc? 40%?

Maybe that's what it was. Didn't he quit and then rejoin the team right before the season too?
That's what I was thinking-that he had actually been kicked off the team before the season and worked his way back on.
I remember when he was recruited he had scored some ridiculous amount of points in high school in North Carolina.
Should have figured somethign was up when a guy who's a hoop legend in NC doesn't wind up on Tobbacco Road.

If I remember right, Newton was actually a slasher...maybe Corey Brewerish...but he 'sploded his knee at Midnight Madness in his first year and had to become more of a spot-up shooter.
Kelly was easily the nicest player I ever met while I was with the team...and that's saying a lot, cuz Hollis was a great guy too. Kelly even remembered me years later when I ran into him in Norman. That was maybe 2 years ago and he had a business in Norman and was coaching some youth league teams. Great guy.
Speakin' of 'sploded knees and players not panning out the way we hoped, what about Bobby Joe Evans?
It's possible I'm thinking of Eric Martin. In fact, I'm sure I am.

i was living out of state, but that's what they say about Newton. he was a real baller. no one likes to see injury, but he a good season shooting the 3.
Kelvin made a living posting up Eric Martin on other teams guard that year. put a post player on him, EM goes out and shoots the 3.
the 99 team loses 3 of it's last 4 including the Pokes in the conference tournament. Kelvin is on TV begging to be in the tournament on Saturday.
criminy, he's lost 3 of 4 and NEVER won an NCAA game in 5 years. why let him in?

Man. I just remembered we were the last team in the 1999 tournament, too. At least we were the lowest-seeded at-large bid.
Ironic that Arizona has that distinction this year.

I have seen Kelly Newton tearing it up at the Y within the last couple of years. Dude can play.
I'm not sure he ever joined the Army - I think that was just the rumor at the time. I remember seeing him often within the next year at the Y.
Martin was from Louisville. Only Spaulding and J.R. Raymond were from North Carolina.
I remember playing at the Huff against Martin and Michael Johnson. It was not a fair game. Martin, Johnson and three dead weighters vs. five dead weighters. Martin would just hangout three feet behind the three point line and rain down threes all game.
42.0% for his career, 43.4% his senior year in 2001.
