Here are mine
1) DJ flies to knock down Hughes shot at the end of the game
2) Matthews rebound
3) Burr to Bo: "Get back in the Box!"
If you watch the replay, when Flowers gets called for a foul Bo whispers in his ear and then Flowers proceeds to go talk to Burr. It put Flowers in foul trouble and Bo was trying to get the foul called on someone else. This leads to a discussion about who the foul was called on. That weasal Bo told Flowers to tell Burr the foul wasn't on him because he didn't want him in foul trouble. Get back in the box you bastard!
Dwight Burke dunks and James almost starting a fight.
McNeal's steal under the basket where he grabbed it over the badger player's shoulder. DJ's block at the end. Dwight Burke. The double t. Never should have been called, but DJ looked good.
I enjoyed DJ's smirk at the Badger Bench near the end of the first half when he scored a bucket and the foul.
Also his "roughing" up of that weenie hughes, I actually like the confident, nearly cocky demeanor he was playing with.
DJ's salute to the UW student section after the game.
Acker's two big 3's

James' block to effectively end the game was my favorite moment of the season so far. That was so incredibly demoralizing and there was no better way for him to finish a flawless game.
McNeal silencing the crowd with the finger to the lips. When they showed that as the game went to commercial, the Annex went nuts.
Mcneals steal, DJ's block, but id say my favorite is Burke hitting two free throws after Bo knows everything tried to break out the hack-a-burke
free throw overall stand out to me, glad we stuck them.
james was, well james. outstanding.
mcneals hits couldn't have been any more timely.
ACKER with the 2 biggest 3's of the game! huge MO!
How about James' no look behind the head pass.
By far it had to be Dom's stare down. The look on his face was incredible.
Although for those who watched at the Annex, MarqPTM's chant of F the Badgers was a highlight for me as everyone joined in.
definetely burkes free throws down the stretch. oozes 3 point play also. dj looking like the old dj again. love it all.
get wesley back into the offense and this team will be tough to stop.
I liked DJ's two drives down the middle of the lane in the first half where he dished off for easy layups/dunks, rather than forcing tough shots. That sort of set the tone that we were going to see the 'good DJ' and boy did we.
Fran's long drive home to Wauwatosa
I liked DJ's controlled, cool, warrior/assassin demeanor last night. You could tell he was in control of his game, and, in effect, the game. Now that's our guy. Unstoppable.
I liked the relentless way we attacked the basket. A welcome change from the perimeter stuff we saw last year, where we'd finally end up forcing up a bad shot because of the shot clock. And the passing was great. There was one nifty little nonchalant bounce pass from the right side into Burke I believe, in the last 5 minutes or so, that was sweet. But overall, passing is a major improvement. Just check out the ESPN highlight and how Cubillan got the look for that crucial three. Just one example of how passing is much improved over a year ago.

Fran's long drive home to Wauwatosa
The screams of frustration coming out of the Shorewood State dorms from pissed off UW hypen fans dreaming up revenge.
(Not that I have any particular ones in mind ...)
I just liked that our team as a whole looked like a veteran team. There were a few moments in the game where it looked like UW could go on a run and get the crowd into it, and there was a point where we went down the court and had 2 stupid turnovers in a row. These things may have put a less experienced team out of the game, but MU showed some great relentlessness and I think that is a mark of a veteran team, and I loved it

speaking of franny, where has everyone's favorite badger/panther fan been?
My favorite moments were holding up my poster with a minute left and having to put it away for fear of my life by pissed off UW students (only to have the girls behind me reopen it to look at it and crack up), Marquette fans starting the "We are Marquette" cheer and the UW students yelling to shut up because they know who we are, Lazar running down to the UW student section popping the "Marquette" on his jersey and finding myself and the 2 other friends wearing yellow and pointing back and forth for a couple minutes, and, of course, James' block. Then surprising our friends by walking into their dorms and them telling us it's our fault if they die of drinking too much. Oops.
thats probably the best sign i have seen in a long time
(except for whoever made the Bow Down to the REAL KING JAMES Sign for Madison last year - both great)
Dominic stare down, Dominic Block, Jerel Sshush, Dwight Burke, GET BACK IN THE BOX BO
take your pic
Studying for finals is so much more enjoyable after a win like that
RING OUT AHOYA!
The magnificent McNeal steal in the lane in the second half was huge and the best pure basketball play of the game (I've been playing and watching basketball for 35 years and McNeal's steal was one of those rare plays that make me say "wow!"), but Acker's 3 to tie it at 59 was biggest single play, IMO.
Burke making two free throws after being intentionally fouled. Hayward rebounding James missed free throw and putting it in the basket. Without out those two things MU would have lossed. Burk stepped up under pressure, James choked, but it goes unnoticed because of Hayward. Also watching Hughes trying to stay in front of Aker. Only his teammates behind him kept Hughes from being blown by.

There are somethings money can't buy. For everything else, there's Warrior basketball!
