Greatest Shot in Moody History!!!!!!!!!

Reunion

I cannot remember anything similar in the 60s, but did not see the Krebs teams in late 50s. Big time heroics in the 1966/67 defeat of Louisville in the NCAAs when they had Wes Unseld and Butch Beard.

i saw them both also. 93 meant as much in real terms. This one means more in emotional terms. I go with the one tonight. To have a shot at redeeming us, and also see us get to the next level is more important to the school now than that was at the time.

Elsey very strangely transferred the next year - correct?

You're thinking of the wrong clutch 3. Elsey was not until 98 (or 99?) in Vegas at the WAC tourney, draining a game winning 3. He'd also hit a game winner in the regular season in the Thomas & Mack -- I know because I was living in Vegas at the time as was there for both. And yes, Elsey transferred to Baylor the next year. He was dead to me after that.

I was in school and at the game for the 93 championship too, but I honestly can't conjure up the memory of that game. Perhaps it was Chad Allen who hit that 3?

It was Chad Allen. I still have fond memories of being down in the student section that year. Probably the reason I have been a season ticket holder since graduating in 94. Hopefully the memories of this season, and the next few to come, will have a similar lasting impression on these students and keep them coming back for the next 20 years.

The greatness of Gene Phillips hit a fall into the crowd, 25 foot plus prayer at the buzzer to beat Arkansas in 1971. Almost landed in my lap. Astounding ending, but not an especially meaningful game. Rydel was right by me, by the way.

Gene seemed to end up in the stands a lot on his corner shots.

I've witnessed some great last second buzzer beaters (will always remember Reggie Franklin's tip in of a missed shot to beat Houston at the buzzer), but with what was at stake and considering how quickly this program has been turned around...nothing tops that shot since I've followed SMU (and that goes back to the early 60's)

My buddy sent me this picture, you guys can decide on best shot...

Look how high he is off the floor.

I have a picture in my head of Gene Phillips being carried off floor after last second basket-but I can't place it. You know it happened though. Did he hit a game winner in his 51 point performance at Gregory Gym-or maybe in the Hills

Actually, the game was at Moody and Gene had a bunch of points. It was a Saturday
afternoon game. We were down 1 to Arkansas with 5 seconds left when Gene hit one
from the corner (before the 3 pt shot line) to win the game and send the Hogs home
with tears in their eyes.

Sorry Top Twenty - I did not see your earlier post when I wrote this.
