wow what an amazing game. 1.1 sec left, tied game. cuse throws it full court and hits a miracle three, only to have it reviewed and called back by a millisecond. going to overtime
this is why the big east tournament is so fun
the big east is going to make some major noise in this tournament. from pitt to conn to ville to nova to cuse to wv, we are all used to playing the best of the best competition. i dont see any teams from other conferences being able to match our physicality and athleticism, including nc. i would absolutely love to see an all beast final four
btw... any chance that erik williams = stanley robinson? 6'8 - 6'9 small forwards. great shot blockers. maybe erik a better shooter
ehh maybe i hope so ;D under 1 min and cuse down by one
what an amazing game!! off to double ot.. if only jerel could have dished like that... :(
I would love to have Rautins on Marquette's team - is he a transfer to Syracuse or did he come in as a freshman?
2 ot ;D
Double OT=Great news for West Virginia.
If West Virginia wins tmrw=VERY bad news for us.
did you guy notice in the first ot boeheim went for the fould with :45 seconds left, and down by 1.
jay wright got lucky today, boys
good point goose. wow i am impressed with flyn. hope he goes pro this year
i want flynn pro b/c I dont want to face him ever again ;D
excactly what i was thinking.
wish we had these refs. they are at least calling the hand check with under a minute on the clock
all i can say is wow. this is probably the most pumped ive been for a non-mu game. off to 3rd overtime!
3ot ;D ;D ;D
lucky for WVU
check out the rebounding power of adrian, robinson, and thabeet. i hope we can add some of that next year
I dont get why they say players will be bad tomm b/c they played the day befoe . They get a full nights rest and they are athletes
its really physically and emotionally draining. but i agree that its not as big a deal as they make it
ummm they are playing an extra 15 minutes!
but they are some of the most well-conditioned people in the world. i think the emotional drain hurts them more than anything
20 min
WOW a three pointer with ten seconds left to tie it up!! going to 4ot. this one will go down in history
wow!
now they'll be even MORE TIRED :o
haha ONIONS ;D
I think this is the greatest game I have ever seen. 12:45am EST and I refuse to go to bed.
Going to a 5th overtime!
FIVE OVERTIMES! :o :o :o
I totally agree!! 5 ot!!! best game i can remember
I concur. If only Syracuse could lose in the end and Devendorf spontaneously combusts!

can you imagine marquette in this kind of game? we would be playing frozena out of necessity
Everyone's fouling out.
Syracuse just put in a walk-on.
I would enjoy this game much more if Devendorf wasn't on Syracuse. I really despise any team that would allow such a classless a$$. But besides that, wow, they are going to be tired.
ha! Midway through this post Devendouch fouls out. Ok, now I'm enjoying it!
The last two shots were eerily similar to ours... Jim Boeheim and Calhoun seemed to do the same as Buzz.

Fixed.
ya. did anybody else notice that the announcers praised uconn for shooting that last shot early instead of running down more clock to ensure a good shot? kind of funny
McDounagh is a Syracuse alum.
The fact he's been able to keep it together this long is just a tribute to his professionalism. I certainly wouldn't be able to if I were calling a game like this with MU, nor could 98% of his ESPN coworkers.
Jonny Flynn = Most Clutch Player in the BE. He's been unreal. Ice in his veins. 12-12 on FTs, with several tying the game.
6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D
SIX OVERTIMES! I can't stop laughing.
:o :o :o
this game is insane. i need to get to sleep.
two late misses by uconn send this thing to 6OT!!!!!! unreal
This is sheer lunacy at this point....WOW, what a freaking game.
Someone go to the hoop on the last shot!!
How the hell can Rautins even JUMP at this point to hit a 3?
this is unreal, Harris are you kidding me
Too bad the chat room couldn't have been opened up for this one.
Some of the stats right now are mind-boggling.
200 COMIBINED shots for both teams.
Harris with 24-19.
3 UConn Players (Adrien, Thabeet, and Robinson) with double-doubles.
2nd best game I've ever seen behind Duke and UK in the 92 regional final.
calhoun just wants to go to bed
Both these teams just lost one of their bye games. Wow...30 minutes extra.
Damn - I was sitting here catching up on threads and didn't even realize the game was still going on (was out tonight and figured all would be over). Just missed the end.
Cuse wins 127-117 6OT
Started watching in the middle of the first OT. Perfect place to start :)
Cuse had their Robert Frozena equivalent (actually less pt than Frozena has had) in for 12 minutes.

Were you out drinking with Huggins?
on the syracuse topic, what ever happened with mookie jones? whats up with him he didnt get any pt tonight and i dont think i saw him during the mu syracuse game
Mookie redshirted the year due to hip surgery. And apparently was not sitting on the SU bench at the Garden tonight.

Wow, what a recap to wake up to! And the lucky winner gets to lace 'em up again in the same day they finished the last one. Flynn played 67 of 70 minutes. That's two games worth. If WV doesn't try to run them into the ground, I can only conclude that Huggins went 6 OT at the bar last night. ;D (That may be a foregone conclusion anyways)
Wow! When UConn went up 6 in the 3rd OT, I went to bed, and I guess I'm glad I did...6AM comes around at the same time every day. I am kinda sorry I missed the rest though. Amazing.
Frankly, if I'm Calhoun, I'm not all that upset that I lost that game. They'll need a few days to recover from that one.
I opened the newspaper this morning to see who won last night and it said the Syracuse-UCONN game was a Late Game and gave no score. I couldn't figure out how in the world an East Coast game could be a Late Game (besides a World Series game). 6 OT's would explain it.
That is one I will regret missing.
I was covering a high school game on TV last night, and told a good friend of mine who's a U of L fan to call me if either late game was an upset. Got the message on WVU and Pitt, and called him back as I was leaving the gym. He told me 'cuse was up 6-4. Got a call about 15 minutes from home when Devendorf hit the non-shot, and got a second call about 30 seconds from home. So I got to watch the final 5 OTs.
