Good stuff.
One my all-time favorite Sooners, beginning with his loyalty to the school. He sort of saw it all throughout his career, I just hope this season didn't put him in too much of a downer moving forward with his life. I think he's athletic enough to get some run in Europe if he chooses to do so. I'll never forget him lighting up Syracuse and the 4 point play against Baylor. The 29 in a half wasn't bad either.

Crock's been a steady performer for us over the last 4 years. We could use some more players with his heart and desire.
The pic of him, Blake, Taylor and WW is from the Morgan State game last year in KC. I think Franklin just hit a layup or something...after this season, that seems so long ago.

All time favorite Crock Moment was when he hit the three at the buzzer of the half versus Syracuse and seeing everyone on the team pick up a guy who had been in a major shooting slump until that moment. The game before against Michigan was one of the best defensive performance by any player of that year.

No he did. It was the celebration at the buzzer that was memorable for DM.
I am sad that Croc's last season has gone like this for the team, but he has individually had his best season of his career. He really elevated his game becoming a rebounder, slasher, defender, and just doing it all. I think we will really miss Crocker next year. He is just a great player who hustles. He will be able to make money playing basketball for quite awhile if he wants to.

Really a great Sooner. I am sure sorry to miss his Senior Day. Also sorry he didn't get to go out with a better season. It sure looks like TC has been really frustrated at times this year.
Probably my favorite player in quite some time. It always killed me to see so many people call for Crocker to be benched year after year. Tony is one of the most under appreciated players ever at OU. A lot of people were quick to say how inconsistent Tony was and I can understand how that perception came about, but when you look at stats for each of his seasons they were pretty darn consistent. He is/was a solid player that was capable of putting up big numbers at times, but for the most part, he just played his role and provided good effort and a good team attitude. It's a shame that his last year has been so disappointing. Hate that for a great player like Crock. I sure hope he goes out with a win on Saturday.

Really gonna miss Crocker, one of those guys you feel like has been at OU forever...going to be weird without him on the court next year...
His Baylor 4 pt play might have been the best play i can remember in a long time, and when this guy was hot there werent many better at shooting the ball...
Glad i was able to be in the seats these last two years enjoying his hustle and leadership...that Centenary first half was a treat to be able to witness...he put together quite a career...

Crocker has given us some big moments at OU. I'll never forget his shots that saved us at the Baylor game. I wish Crock all the best and thank him for being a great player for all of the fans at OU. We've enjoyed being part of the ride.:clap

Great thread. Great Sooner. Crocker we will miss you!
Tony Crocker will be forever known as making the LNC the loudest it has ever been. I haven't been to many games but I was at the Baylor game and I couldn't even hear myself think. I've even read posters say it was the loudest it has ever been.
