This marked the last time St Joes ever had a chance to win the national championship. That opportunity will never, EVER come again.

I was 7 watching this game with my dad in the living room and when the buzzer sounded we went absolutely crazy. Hope our program can get back to the level it was in the 90s and early 2000s some day. Go pokes

I’ll never forget watching this game in the living room with my dad & grandpa. It was so much fun and so exciting. What a great memory

OK State student here, probably the greatest moment of our program in the last 50 years. Sucks we couldn’t win against Tech but making the Final Four (and beating a #1) is an accomplishment of itself. Do feel bad for St. Joe’s though, they had a dream season and unfortunately we were the ones to end it.

@@allthingsunrelated2919 Amazing season 03-04 I had St. Joe’s in the final 4 on my bracket

St Joseph's more than proved during their tournament run they deserved that #1 overall seed, finally falling to a quality Oklahoma St team! Cold blooded three by John Lucas under the pressure of the moment! Showed his character! In the end in retrospect though, super job by St Joe's getting there! People were skeptical of them even with just one loss; they proved those detractors wrong! That team will always have it's rightful spot in Hawk and NCAA lore

Lucas went to Baylor then transferred??

Sadly Baylor basketball had a player murdered by another player in 2003 and all other players were able to transfer without penalty. That’s how Lucas ended up at OSU.

OSU deserved the number one seed over St Joe's and nobody can convince me otherwise.

Yeah, ok st. Went 31-4 that year! I was rooting for Saint Joseph and it was a tough finish. But what a great season.

This has to be one of the most entertaining finishes in tourney history. Back-and-forth in the final 1:23 without any fouls or timeouts, and to go to the Final Four above all else.

It was the type of game that you felt sad one of these teams had to lose. This was Final Four caliber.

Yup. They came out cold and finished hot.

Damn that really hits, I remember st joes being an absolute power house that season.

What a crushing defeat. Wow

Best year's of watching college basketball when jameer was there

Great game. I remember i recorded it on a 📼. West and Nelson were beasts as was that whole OKST team. Loved that Nets court, btw. RIP parquet floor.

it's funny hearing "Tony Allen, their leading scorer." knowing how his career went, known [mostly] as an elite defender. lol. just goes to shows how much of a different animal the pros are.

I WAS THERE!

Basketball without flopping and Chester’s own… miss these days

great game!!

Very good show

still can't believe he didn't call a timeout

One of the few glory years for ok state 😔

Why have you privatized your ncaa tournaments lists? Please reinstate them!!

Go Pokes! Hope we can get back to the Final 4 soon! Future looks bright, despite the ridiculous sanctions trying to rob us of a postseason with our one year with Cunningham.

Cunningham is really good... from the future!

Nelson had the defender back pedaling on the last shot and he over dribbled. Smh. Fast forward to 2009 and Derick Fisher drains the 3 in Nelson's face for the championship, that Nelson should've drained to go to the final four. He was back pedaling Nelson. He was giving you the 3

D west

Hmmmm poderosíssimo

Nelson didn't play well this game

THWND

Martelli should have called time and set up a play for either Delonte West or Pat Carroll, both better shooters than Jameer Nelson. Martelli was a horrible end of game coach. This game was the most disappointing in my life long history of my following St. Joes Basketball. Today, 4/21/2023 was the first time I watched the game in 19 years. It brings back horrible memories.

Ok state deserved to lose

Sour grapes? OSU was in a tougher conference and was a better team. Hard to argue with 30 wins in one of the best conferences in the nation. St Joe was a nice Cinderella story that one year though.

They were the better team, sorry.

The refs gave this game to the Cowboys. Fun to see DeLonte doing well.
