Disappointing, but that was a good team. They went to the Final 4 and were led by Ronnie Lester, an AA.1980
#1 seed. Bouie and Louie.
Lost to Iowa.
Freaking Iowa.

They shot like 40 FT's that game. Almost as disgusting as the Elite 8 game against Ohio St. years later...Good call on Navy especially after having beaten them handily earlier in the year and it was played in the Dome. David Robinson just absolutely owned us in the second half.
A tech foul called by Booker Turner turned that game. Turner was a rabbit eared ref from the Pac 10. And who showed up at the carrier game to work the Navy NCAA game? Booker Turner.1980

I was at that game. Iowa had Ronny Lester a future NBA guard who made our guys look like they were running in quick sand. But yeah, a devastating loss we expected to win.1980

Lmao back to the sparty forum threadThis is the worst thread ever created by the hand of man. Nothing is real, we are all made of water.
I hate to be mean but they kept showing his blind father after every time he scored. I must have called him a MF 150 times in the second half.
1. Indiana 1987 Championship game - THE most painful. I remember laying face down on the floor for 15 minutes after Smart's shot went in. We were the better team. Had more & better future pros. Were ahead most of the 2nd half. Just missed a bunch of free throws at the end that would have put it away. It still hurts.
2. Illinois 1989 Regional Final - we were up 7 at halftime and I was checking airfare to the FF. Maybe the best SU team of all time. DC/Owens/Sherm/Stevie.
3. Richmond 1991
4. Rhode Island 1988
5. Michigan 2013 - it was not a charge
6. Butler 2010
7. Arkansas 1995 - Moten calls time out we don't have. We had them beat. Then Arkansas went on to win it all.
8. Vermont 2005
9. Ohio State 2012
10. Georgetown 1984 BET Final when Graham punched Andre Hawkins, no call.
Indiana ‘87
The rest

OMG. Seriously??Marsh there is no way that the 1988 Rhode Island game was worse than Butler.
OMG. Seriously??
Waaaaaaaaay more painful.
Not being sarcastic, but we're you alive for that game?
Ok. At 6 it's hard to get a feel for what is going on. I was 23...it was awful.I was 6 years old. I guess I'm in the minority on this topic.
That's a great list. Maybe bump Arkansas up a little more, but overall agree 100%. I wrote about Illinois before, and that one hurt. I'm also a big sucker for when a great 4 year player (Moten, Sherm, etc.) get close, and then lose in a heartbreaking way.1. Indiana 1987 Championship game - THE most painful.
