fateful trip to Ames, Iowa, Louisiana
basketball fans had to deal with it all
over again.
King passed it all up to go to Texas
A&M, a school that had not had a win
ning season since 1994.
Louisiana basketball experienced
a case of deja vu as King took Fizer’s
same path.
The freshman shooting guard
quickly stepped to the forefront of the
Aggie line-up and became the team’s
most formidable offensive threat.
On Jan. 22, King had 17 points and
nine rebounds to lead A&M to an up
set of No. 12 Oklahoma State. From
that point on, there was no doubt he
was the biggest impact freshman in the
2000 Big 12 Conference.
On his way to Freshman of the Year
honors. King shattered Fizer’s fresh
man records, scoring 16.9 points per
game and 468 points.
After the final game of the regu
lar season, a win over Nebraska,
King was anticipating the opportu
nity to call Fizer, one of his “best
friends,” and brag about breaking
his records. To the A&M freshman,
that was more important than any
Big 12 honors he received.
“Records they come and they go so
it really doesn't matter, but it sure feels
good,” King said after scoring 30
points in the win over Nebraska.
After that there was no doubt that
King had all the ingredients to be a Di
vision 1 hoops standout, but could he
be a Fizer?
In the wake of an eight-win season,
A&M coach Melvin Watkins is hop
ing King can have the same transfor
mation effects on the team during the
next two years.
“He broke Fizer’s freshman record,”
Watkins said. "Now, can he be a Fizer
— we’ll take it.”
King shows no signs of letting
his coach down as Watkins builds an
effective supporting cast that will
prevent teams from focusing only
on King.
The pair both took a gambleoi;
derdog programs that appearedtob*
a terminal sentence to the ba
of basketball sports sections,
few short months each brought:; 3
school onto the front pages anJ
the highlight reels.
Now in the middle of “March
ness” two questions remain: Ho
can Fizer take Iowa State and willfe
continue to follow in his footsteps
