#1 SYR at #25 PITT - 2014

Just watched that game again on Youtube. Talk about two incredible defensive teams. Pitt had been 9-0 up until then when playing top five teams at the Peterson Center and I think Jamie Dixon was 10-5 against us going into that game. As usual, they killed us on the offensive glass. This is the game Ennis made the buzzer beater just over half court to give us the win 58-56. Ah, the memories

Wish the 2003 Pitt game was out there somewhere.

Somebody on this board has to have this on VHS somewhere.

I went looking for the time Coleman blocket a Pitt shot late in the first round of the 1990 Big East Tournament to avoid it 1 v 8 upset. Is there a laser disc or anything out there with that one? A reel of film?

A lot of good Pitt memories. When we are beating them of course..I like that they came to the ACC with us because Pitt is ...

Me.

This never gets old watching the Ennis shot and the look on the faces of the Pitt players and fans. It’s also funny watching Ennis tell the Pitt student body to “kiss my ...”.

That game had the feeling we were going to lose throughout the entire game. Incredible shot.

I had it on vhs at my parents until they moved and tossed it.

solid offense by Pitt those last four mins...chuck up a 35 footer with one second left and then goon your way to offensive rebounds. Thank god Dixon is gone

There was a Stevie Thompson game winning steal and dunk against Pitt in that era too.

Can your next Amazon purchase please be a VHS digital converter?

It’s amazing (in a bad way) that this has never popped up on YouTube. Best game I’ve ever attended. Would love to see the TV version, even though I know it won’t come close in comparison to being there.

I’ve got a ton of games on VHS. Might get them all converted. Lots of 2003 games including Ga tech and ND at home.

Would love to watch the Michigan State game in 2003.

Was that Pitt or UConn?

Pretty sure it was UConn, in the Hartford Civic Center (now the XL Center). I was there.

Unless he did it twice.

Twice. Apparently recorded on a toaster...

I do if it still works what’s the easiest way to convert it to you tube

GA Tech first half was probably when I realized how good we could be. GMac's end-of-the-half steal and 3 was the cherry on top.

Digital converters are pretty cheap -- biggest problem is it is time consuming.

Michael Edwards going all Nick Van Exel and bringing it up the court and launching a 3 without passing to anybody first when down by 4, was really ballsy.

That end of half steal and shot(I think it was a 2) was against Missouri.

Unless it happened twice...

Ahhh yes, confused those two.

In any event, that first half was ridiculous.

It happened at least twice..

Same! I remember watching that one in our dorm room suite living room with 4 of my suite mates: 3 other pretty solid Cuse fans and 1 casual, and a few other bball fans from our floor. All I remember is Warrick and Melo seeming like they were on another level, and feeling like I held my breathe for like 20 seconds on Michigan State’s last possesion.

The 2004 Michigan State game at the Dome was a great Orange performance too. If only Billy Edelin could’ve kept it together...
