underdog, HOT has some interesting memories. HOT was actually nothing more than a big barn with a basketball court at one end. I don't know if this was planned but I wouldn't put this past the bears but every time we went there, they had an FFA convention. The visitors' locker room was at the other end from the court.so we had to literally walk-through livestock and their droppings. I still can't stop laughing about that to this day. Fortunately, we didn't have any livestock casualties.
That day, we were tied with Tech for 1st place. They lost that afternoon to SMU I believe so we went into this game knowing that if we won., we were SWC champs. Now for all of you coaches or thinking about being a hoops coach, remember this. Baylor came out in a diamond and 1 and the 1 was covering Larry. Obviously, the purpose was to keep Larry as far away from the ball as possible. He was being covered by a guard, so our coaches put into a 2-1-2 with Larry roaming the lane. It was a great move and I think that we scored roughly 90+ points and won the SWC and Larry won SWC MVP for the second time. Good memories.
And yes, that may have been the worst injury in UT hoops history.
