One Hit Wonders

Some things we can always count on from March Madness: Gus Johnson will make everything from a tip-off to a 30 second time-out sound incredibly dramatic, Jim Nantz will come up with another cheesy tag line for the winning team as time expires, real fans will be make it a point to stay up for "One Shining Moment," and a whole new crop of players will become household names...for two weeks.

Here are some of the most memorable March Madness characters from the 1990's that have since become basically forgotten:
  • John Wallace - Syracuse
  • Shawn Respert - Michigan State
  • Saul Smith - Kentucky (Tubby's annoying son)
  • Ron Mercer - Kentucky
  • Toby Bailey -UCLA
  • Tyus Edney - UCLA
  • The O'Bannon Brothers - UCLA
  • Miles Simon - Arizona
  • Scott Padgett - Kentucky
  • Thomas Hill - Duke
  • George Lynch - UNC
  • Scotty Thurman - Arkansas
  • Corliss Williamson - Arkansas
  • Arthur Lee - Stanford

Toby Bailey - UCLA.  Think hard and you'll remember his hops and XXL t-shirts from '95.
