Home overtime victory

[SaveOD238]

It's hard to believe, but last night was our first home overtime victory since Nov 13, 2006 against Idaho St!  We've only played in three others since then: Notre Dame in '10 (our fourth OT in five games, but the other three were all road victories), Syracuse in '09, and Georgetown in '08. 

In fact we haven't played any OT games in nearly two years, since we beat UConn on the road in '11

I can't remember the last time I saw a buzzer-beater in person.  That was electric

[Oldgym]

I forgot to erupt along with the rest of the crowd.  Honestly didn't believe it went in after oh for 14.

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

I was at the '08 & '09 Games -- that was the opposite of electric.

That Georgetown game is still stuck in my head to this day.  As it probably is in D James' head as well.

Even after that loss, that will go down as the greatest game I've ever been to at the Bradley Center. The environment at the BC was unbelievable. Students given glow sticks prior for introduction. That crazy put back by Dwight Burke for the And-1. And of course that terrible foul call...DJ had all ball.

Anybody remember a game winning (or tying) three point shot like that at home?  Does one have to go all the way back to the great Doc Rivers shot against Notre Dame?  Certainly there have been road shots including last year's by Jae.

Novak did that to Notre Dame I think.

The only game-winning or tying shot I have seen at the BC was by Jerry F$^&$^Y Smith.

Technically that was a 2

But absolutely one of the all time shots in team history.  It had slipped my mind as I wasn't at the game.

I was at the Notre Dame game in '06 and the game last night. Last night was awesome, but it doesn't even come close to Novak's shot in terms of crowd excitement and overall experience (might also have something to do with the fact I was a student in '06 and now I am an alum in the upper deck, and that my dislike of UCONN comes nowhere close to my hatred for ND). That Novak shot was the best in-person MU experience I've ever had.

Agreed, that Novak shot was probably the most electric I've ever seen a sports crowd in a single instance in person. 

There was also a huge snow storm that took place during the game I believe.  We walked out of the BC to over a foot of snow IIRC.

Plus there were more than 12,000 at the ND game.  Much better atmosphere.

Very true.

I'm sure you're right.  Last night was more like a "Holy Sh*t" moment.  That's what '0-7,000' as coach would say would do.  But it was perfection in the air and the replay that shows the usher in the background with his arms up while the ball was in flight is priceless.

Ill never forget Louisville at home in 2003. Dieners tying three and then Ville jacking up another game winning three from 30+ feet.

Have ton mention Maurice Lucas beating Wisconsin at the buzzer, leading to Al getting up on the scorers table.

I'll never forget that game, either. Still hate Reece Gaines for that.

Reminds me of Francisco Garcia in 04 (or 05?).  Crushing.

[wadesworld]

Dameon Mason had a 3 point play with 0.8 seconds left to beat Louisville in 2004.  That was fun.

Especially since Reece is a Wisconsin kid and shoulda played for us.  Absolute heartbreaker.

Watched that game in my lucky MU hoodie, sitting in a bar in Savannah, GA.  The locals next to me offered their condolences. The bartender even bought me a beer.  Gut wrenching loss, but it did teach me to never underestimate the healing power of free beer.

I believe that the shot by Doc against ND came at ND.

Definitely at home - the Old Milwaukee Arena.  First game back after Christmas break.  I was there!
