Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 4868639, member: 175"] Here’s the story of that game. Had the timeout story matched with the right game. Remember it well because we played like crap for such a long time and then flipped a switch. As often happened, Ricky Moore led the turnaround. Came out of that timeout with some hustle plays and fired us back up. I will say that one thing about that ‘99 team that was special was that they locked in defensively in crunch time as well as any team I’ve ever seen. The one game we lost at full strength we were down 9 to Miami and completely smothered them to come back and tie it. But then we forced them into a late shot clock airball that turned into an accidental pass to Tim James and we missed two chances to tie it. If that team ever had to get a stop, we were typically getting a stop.
