Washburn was a bust but didn't play against Iowa in 1989. Probably thinking 1986.
Fellow Oldies Help Me Out--the Anteater Game?

Yep. 26 and his first season as a head coach (youngest in DI at the time). Who knew that 100 years later he’d still be chasing his first Sweet Sixteen?
I think Iowa blew a big half time lead against UNLV.
Thanks for this stroll down repressed memory lane everyone
At first I thought you were thinking of the loss to DII UC Riverside on Christmas Day 1988. They went absolutely nuts from 3.

UC Riverside Stuns No. 4 Iowa From Long Range
Maurice Pullum and Pat Viera each had five of UC-Riverside's Division II-record 21 3-point baskets, helping the Highlanders upset No. 4 Iowa, 110-92, Sunday night in the championship game of the Chaminade Christmas tournament.

I believe the University president meddled in that issue.
I believe so...He was on some stupid kick where all freshmen athletes at Iowa would be unable to play, despite no one else in the NCAA having the same policy. If I remember correctly, Hayden Fry, Tom Davis, and other coaches threatened to leave. He didn't last much longer as president.
58-42 halftime and we lost 82-80?
I remember George being very contrite after that loss and apologizing to the fans.
Yep. Dominated the 1st half. Big difference in the game is we made 2-6 3 pointers and they made 11-30. Nobody shot the 3 like they did back then. We shot 55% and lost. Last time we were ever close to having the roster to win a championship.
In his tracksuit. 😂
Chris Washburn was long gone from NC St by ‘89. Was the 3rd pick in ‘86 draft (Behind Brad Daugherty and Len Bias). Might have already ate his way out of the NBA by then too.
Dennis Hopson right?
My grandparents were the Hawkeye fans they kept showing all game.
It was in Irvine.
He was the Hawkeye fan in the Hawkeye flat cap that they kept showing going into most commercial breaks.
We taped it & remember showing them when they got back to Iowa. 😂
I believe he had 36, and they seemed to have a good little guard then as well.
Jay Burson…Ed Horton broke his neck the next year
that loss is 2nd to me for a gut punch behind the 87 NCAA game I wont mention. I am too young to remember the Lute years. F#cking Rodney Monroe.
Put him in an Iron Halo
Burson could shoot the rock. Smooth stroke.

I remember David Robinson and Navy playing one year, I believe. It was a big deal when the started it, as were all the games.
Also remember the Big Ten / ACC shootout games in CR for a couple years during that time.
Because, back in the day, it was the ONLY “Thanksgiving” BB tourney on the schedule! Most teams did not open their seasons until just before Thanksgiving Day and the Great Alaskan Shootout would seemingly give the nation an upset or two.
Wasn’t he only like 4 ft tall or something, too?Burson could shoot the rock. Smooth stroke.

Yes very tiny guy. Very slight. His bio says dude weighed 152 pounds. My guess is he was lighter than that. I bumped into Ed Horton once on my way to class. He was built haha. That was an awful game for Jay. It pretty much finished his career at osu and in the NBA.
He tried and did. Both the NBA and cba. Not long though.
The Iowa Television Network. It irked my out of state friends.
And Sharm Scheuerman.
Bob left Iowa for Hawaii and was involved in politics there as a Republican state legislator. He then returned to California and became commissioner of some conference.
Sharm had a realtor agency here and then went to Colorado. He has since passed.
Ahhhhhhhh, but we watched some pretty awesome basketball then. A time when I looked forward to their games and effort they played with. Now…………….? Just not anywhere close to energy those teams played with. Sad really.
