I thought of a cool LNC moment. If I recall correctly, a car dealership was offering a free car if you made a half court shot during half time. This went on for a while with everyone missing. One day, if I recall correctly, a student hit it and won a car. They ended that promotion. I would guess this occurred in the 90-93 era. I hope I am remembering something from OU games and not a game I watched on TV but I really wouldn't have seen it on TV because you don't see the half time stuff and everything wasn't on TV back then like it is now.
It was the Iowa State game in 89, which was just a few days before either the Arizona game or the Mizzou game. I can't remember which but we had tickets for all 3 and I remember the ISU game was a Wednesday night. The team played really lethargic to start the game but after the student hit the half court shot the team was lit on fire in the 2nd half and won by about 30.
