2008....Phillip Thomasson...totally forgotten about him!

[WuShock16]

2008. Story was that Gregg ripped...and I mean RIPPED the team at halftime...and they responded well. Gregg later admitted that he knew that he couldn't go to that well too often because it loses its effectiveness.

I wouldn’t mind going back to 08.

There's really not much to say about the '29 Northwestern Oklahoma game. They came back to Wichita with big aspirations for an upset, but their big guy sat out with an ankle injury. Ross had his way with them early; he secured the opening tip to himself, took the pumpkin' to the house. Ross scored the first 15 points of the game and the 'WU' cruised to an easy victory.

Ross McBurney:
Total points = 30
Total rebounds = 15

Note: Ross nearly had a perfect game, but he 'clanked' one at the charity stripe.

Probably would have to define what 3G meant by "ripped" and what was considered by him to be "too often".

Probably would have to define what 3G meant by "ripped"

ripped

adjective

ˈript

1. slang : being under the influence of alcohol or drugs : HIGH, STONED

2 slang : having high muscle definition

3 slang : to pass gas

4 slang : to yell at someone loudly

I would go with Number 4.
