This Syracuse - Uconn game is a classic!

I just read Boeheim's lips at the end of the fourth OT: "How is that not a f*cking foul?"

I thought Harris got hacked.

Cruel to make these kids play again within anything less than 72 hours LOL What fun to watch though.

People will remember this game in this town for as long as witnesses to it are alive. That was epic.

Second best, in my book. I still put the NCAA Championship win over Kansas in 2003 over anything in SU history!

SU's win tonight was the second-longest NCAA Division I game EVER played.

Great game, I am now officially my Huskies jinx, I've only seen four of there games and they lost all 4.

I'll do them a favor and skip all their tourney games.

No, Dan, please continue watching! Everyone in the 'Cuse will be grateful.

I couldn't even stay up and watch the whole thing. I had to go to bed.

Dan, what's your online FPS of choice, so I can put one right between the eyes, you bastard!

You too, Paul, you orange punk!

I turned it off after 3, couldn't keep the eyes open. However, I did record 2 hours after I went to bed so I could watch this morning. Cuse had 2 walk-ons out there at the end?

That was brutal. This team is looking at a first round knock out in the NCAA tourney if they don't play better than they have the last three games.

And I'll take Chalmers three point shot with no time left on the clock to take the game to overtime against Memphis last year in the Championship game.

I try not to think about that 2003 Championship final. Thanks for the bad memories!

fsquid · Post by **fsquid** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 9:29 am

I try not to think of last year's game either, so kiss my ass!

Man unbelieveable game. Definitely one of the top two or top three NCAA games of all time. Are there any torrents of this game up yet? I've been looking but I haven't found any yet but I guess it's too soon.

AcemanPR · Post by **AcemanPR** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 10:49 am

The amazing thing is that Syracuse never got the lead in OTs 1-5.

Hey former season ticket holder here, I was on the floor at the first NIT championship before they became who they are today so it pains me too brother.

They had so many chances to close out that game and were chucking up 30 foot jumpers or missing foul shots. When they lost the tip it OT #6 I said to myself if the Orange hit the 3 then it's over and it was.

If we're going to lose I'd rather lose a game like that to a class act like Jim Boeheim. then that little effin punk ass at Pitt.

I would also keep an eye on ESPN.com. This game has "Instant Classic" tattooed on it. I would think it would be on ESPN Classic by the end of the weekend.

Ah, speak of the devil. From ESPN.com:

>>>ESPN Classic will show the Big East quarterfinal between Syracuse and Connecticut as an Instant Classic on Friday, March 13 from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET. The game also will air again on ESPNU from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET.<<<

Hope you have ESPNU!

So true.

I feel the same way about Calipari. It has nothing to do with Memphis. It's mostly from back in his UMass days.
