Bill Self was talking about OU HC legend Billy Tubbs and started reminiscing about the old Big 8 Conference "The best days of college basketball, we had it better than anybody" He listed a group of coaches that "made this league great": Billy Tubbs - Oklahoma Larry Brown - Kansas Jack Hartman and Lon Kruger - K-State Norm Stewart - (Missouri) Johnny Orr - Iowa State Joe Cipriano - Nebraska Eddie Sutton - Oklahoma State #kubball
@landonian87 I have almost every televised OU game 1988-1992 on vhs. Theres not much on YouTube. Challenge accepted
@landonian87 And all within driving distance for fans. Spectacular conference, the good old days
@landonian87 NOBODY screamed like Cipriano
@landonian87 Was watching a Tubbs game one time. Fans booing. He grabbed the mic and told them to stop booing. “No matter how bad the calls were”. Then was incredulous when he was called for a tech. I loved it
