Yes, but won't the prize money go directly to the boys and girls club, instead of what I would have liked?: to the NIL, which $$ would go to the SA, who could raise money for the Boys and Girls Club. Looks like they are eliminating a step.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I just saw a piece on "Linsanity," and after Jeremy Lin hit one game-winning shot, the first teammate to hug him was Novak.Novak owes at least half of his NBA earnings to Jeremy Lin, who was directly responsible for Novak getting his one and only big contract. Yes, Steve still had to make the shots, but it was Lin's presence on the court that got Novak into the lineup and got him so many wide-open looks. It was fun to watch some of those games.

Wasn't at the Novak ND game, but that moment was the loudest I ever heard the BC.
I think the loudest for me was senior night 2009 against Georgetown when Dwight Burke had the put back slam with about 30 seconds left to go up 3 And then of course followed by the most silent I’ve ever heard it when someone (Lazar maybe) fouled, I think, Jeff Green then he hit all 3 free throws and we lost in OT
The Syracuse game was bizarre because the crowd was incredible despite there only being 13-14 thousand there. At least that’s what i recall.
We've had a few decent Fiserv crowds but the BC used to be almost feral at times, especially in the old BE days. I miss that.
This is almost exactly what people said about the mecca when we were in the Bradley center.
True... But there was also a 7k jump in capacity when they went to the BC. MU has drawn more or less the same amount of people from the BC to Fiserv. Just a different vibe is all.
I won't doubt the volume -- I wasn't at that game and didn't go to enough games at the BC to differentiate such things. But it wasn't particularly close to being the most important shot of that game, as Syracuse went on to rebuild its lead. Thankfully, our season-long contributors played really well down the stretch when Jake was back on the bench.As for this little exhibition, we'll see how well the Whitebread Warriors represent.
Late first half shot, but consider the situation. Jake was still a walk on, and hadn't scored since non-con play. #12 Syracuse, Big Monday, and the walk on comes in for his first meaningful minutes since December and does THAT to THEM. Oh, and Syracuse was the embodiment of the impending breakup of the Big East, so their villain status was on par with Bucky.It felt like a real Rudy moment.
A Rudy moment. A magical moment. And yet ...Thomas' 4-point play cut Syracuse's lead to 4 with 1:24 left in the first half. But Syracuse quickly built its lead back up and was still ahead by 6 with 7 1/2 to go in the game.That's when Marquette's actual difference-makers in the game went to work. Mayo hit two 3s, Davante made three baskets and Junior had a few nice defensive plays to fuel a 20-7 run that gave MU a 7-point lead with a minute to go, and that's all she wrote.Again, I believe everyone who says the BC was loud as hell when Thomas hit that 3. But it obviously didn't faze Cuse, because they quickly built the lead back up. Gardner, Mayo, Cadougan & Co. won that game for Marquette while Jake was comfortably back in his warmups. It was a cool moment, but that's all it was -- a moment. Let's not make it out to be the game-winning -- or even game-turning -- play.
Yep, the BC was simply electric as he made that shot and we fans in the stands realized he was being fouled at the same time. It was a magical moment for sure.
The funny thing is, I didn’t really hate that Syracuse team. Their fans, sure, but Loved watching CJ Fair play.
