I was at this game at the Metrodome.  I was a senior in high school in MN and got tickets for the Mizzou game & Illini game in the upper rows of the upper deck and couldn't see much of anything but I was there wearing my Syracuse Starter jacket.  These were my first in person Syracuse games after become a die hard fan since seeing Pearl on TV.

I drove myself and a friend who was an Illini fan (I didn't talk to him on the drive home) to the games and I remember my Mom being really angry at me for missing our family's Easter.  My Mom gave me an adult option of going to Grandma's house for Easter or going to the Syracuse game thinking I would choose family.  I choose Cuse and she was mad for weeks!

I remember only seeing about 4 other Syracuse fans at these Metrodome games although I'm sure the traveling Orangemen fans had much better tickets than me.  Illinois had an injury issue with Battle (I believe) who was injured in the Illini/Loiusville game on Friday night when Battle slipped on some water on the court from the dome rood leaking if I remember correctly.  Battle played but was not 100%.  That was a great 4 team regional with Cuse, Illini, Mizzou (Doug Smith, Peeler) & Louisville (Never Nervous Pervis Ellison).
