6OT Game or Duke Game?

[TexanMark]

So many great games but besides the NCAA Championship...which one is tops?

 

[Moontan]

6OT.

The Duke game maybe the best at the Dome ever.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

the level of play for this game was just so much higher. that game was great based on happenstance of overtime after overtime. this game would have been great had it ended in regulation.

 

[grepal]

6 OT in the Garden, 3 OT v. Nova at The Dome are 1 and 2 for me outside of the National Championship Game.

 

[ssbriefcase]

Seriously??? Not even close in my book. 6OT was one of the best games in the history of college bball, and was one of a kind.

 

[jncuse]

This was a better played game, but it does not surpass the 6OT.

This was a great game -- but it falls in with other great NCAA regular season games.

The 6OT game was unique.

 

[Marsh01]

6ot but this was the best dome game

 

[OrangeXtreme]

6 OT.

If we were ranked #17 today vs #2 Duke it would be a different story.

 

[jekelish]

6OT and it's not even close.

I will always vividly remember everything about that game.

This was a great game but it will never resonate in nearly the same way for me.

Today's game was played at a much higher level. Nothing can top 6 ots in the "epic" category but this was a better played game.

 

[No Hoyas]

gotta go w/ the 6 ot game- giving us additional bragging rights over

 

[llandz]

Agreed...6OT, hands down. But this was a very well and exciting game, have no doubt. Top 3 or 4 for sure.

 

[JJReddawg]

Easily 6OT

6 OT, this one just barely over the '81 BE 3 OT Villanova championship (reversed if it resulted in a tourney invite), all second to the NC of course as you mention. If you think about it really it's an embarrassment of riches being an SU hoops fan these days, and may I say I'm a big fan of being a fan of the rich!

It's good to be the king.

It's good to be the king.

As jeke has said in another thread (and I'm ready for it to be a phrase to say along with warm damn otto) damn it feels good to be a gangster.

 

[Jeepers]

It's good to be the king.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

Like I said in another thread... Nothing yet has topped the 6OT!!! Even this game! Stop living in the moment!

 

[tbonezone]

the crowd was astounding and the fans seemed to keep to their seats down the stretch but i never really felt the outcome was in doubt. especially with parker and jefferson out. duke needed a miracle. didn't happen.

 

[TexanMark]

I agree the 6OT was tops...just wanted to see if others thought the same.

 

[HoustonCuse]

6OT. I wasn't at this game, but in my memory it would be tough to top the JT2 ejection game at the dome. Bottom line, this game was a great one.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I don't know, but I will say this -

Coach K after this game seemed disappointed to lose, but genuinely pleased to have participated in a great game.

Calhoun was full of piss and vinegar after the 6OT loss.

The level of play in this game was far better than the six overtime win over UConn. There was an epic quality to that game in the Garden but half of those overtime periods were very sluggish. A lot of players on both teams fouled out and I think we had Paul Harris playing center at the end.

The six overtime game was one for the ages but looking at just the level of play, I have to go with Saturday's game. The intensity on the court was something else. It had the biggest buildup of any game every played at Syracuse and this one lived up to every sports fan's wildest expectations. We set a new attendance record, established a new mark for wins to start the season and this victory makes SU the number one team in the country.

Go Cuse!

I don't know, should have never taken 6 OT's to put away a mid-major on one of our many home courts.

 

[BlackKnight76]

6OT, but this is the best since.
