I thought I remembered, and was confirmed in the video, that he set a new NCAA tournament record for blocks, besting

I think Bradley's record lasted one year.

You know...its true, but he got faked out of his jock early in the game by the BYU center that drew

BSUs colors were much better in 1992.

Too bad we're the ones who let him break Shawn Bradley's record.

Trivia time: how did we even make it to that game?

We won the game before?

By winning the WAC Tourney, see attached. Even better trivia, Matt Lohner, Caleb's Dad was on that team!

I'd be as dominant as Shaq too...

That's what I was thinking too. That the hoop looked like it was set at nine feet for that game.

yes Kevin Nixon from more than half court no time on the clock

byujag

so awesome, but man, gotta feel for those UTEP players. brutal

yahtzee

BYU's been on the other end of it. . .

squidmark

3/2/21 9:40pm

yep. was thinking about that one. tough to be on the losing end of those

yahtzee

3/2/21 9:48pm

I remember watching that at my in-laws. Great moment. Team members said Nixon regularly worked on that shot at practice.

Brisco

Shot from the free throw line across the court

I’m a hack by a few seconds, and wrong on some details

Here's another version.

I remember watching that game with my dad. Such an awesome game.

He would be dominant in any era.

byuod

3/2/21 9:45pm

Always wondered why he wasn't more of a dominant defender in the NBA?

Boise's court almost as bad as their smurf turf

The 2-handed block against the backboard and multiple volleyball spikes

So many legends on the court in Boise that year:

Just realized Caleb Lohner’s dad also rode the pine on that team.

Those were great career highlights. Wait, was that all from one game?

"Hey guys, keep taking it to O'Neal. He won't block everything!"
