Walked into the LSU-Auburn game at halftime when I was a student. Nip and tuck game came down to a final possession for LSU wit 4 seconds left and trailing by one (there was no 3-point shot then).
LSU had a great shooting guard named Howard Carter. Everyone thought the ball was going to him, so Auburn triple-teamed him, relying on a fat 6’ 5” forward, named Charles Barkley, to protect the basket. Freshman point guard Derrick Taylor took the inbounds an shot from inside the Louisiana map at halfcourt. The buzzer went off an instant before the string music sent LSU to the victory.
It was about 1982. Charles Barkley dominated in the paint. He was a freshman as well, IIRC.
