Not my video, just found it browsing around.


I was at that game in those first highlights: at MSG vs IU, right after the NC Keith Smart loss. I was sitting with some buddies behind some IU fans in my standard suit-&-tie, as we'd all come straight from the new jobs we got in Manhattan after graduation.
We were young, obnoxious, loud, and boy did we tear into those IU fans! All the frustration of the NC loss was let out in that ass whupping we handed them that night.
I honestly believe that THIS game announced our arrival as a perennial powerhouse on a national level. Back then you weren't on TV very often, and when Sherm did that football pass for a dunk, Dicky V went insane. It was like we had smoothly transitioned from the Pearl Era at the Dome, to a national draw with future POY Derrick Coleman, NCAA assists leader Sherm Douglas, and #1 recruit (along w/ Alonzo Mourning at GTown), Billy Owens- not to mention Stevie Thompson, Dave Johnson, etc. Great memories.

Back then our bigs could all handle and pass. It made running so much easier.
And the guards didn't have to rebound, because the big guys grabbed them all. Enabling Stevie to take off. How many times was he already down court? How often do you see it now?
