Terrence Roberts vs Rutgers.

Gmac dropping one on gtown.

Double banger. Cipolla and Wallace (not technically a buzzer beater but exciting and important enough)

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Definitely NOT this one.

Pearl for romantic reasons.

Cipola for practical ones.

(And for another board, McNabb to Brominski.)

Well, I must say these made me smile. I believe I have to go with the Georgia game, which was one of the most exciting games I have ever watched. Gerry in the Big East with both Cincinnati and Gtown a very close second.

It’s good to smile nowadays.

Edit: Oh wait wait wait! How could anyone forget Conrad McRae’s duplication of Christian Laettner’s “shot” against Kentucky?? We were playing Nova, at the Spectrum (?), the very same arena where Laettner made his shot. It was the same in every respect. And I have searched and can’t find video of it.

It was cosmic.

I have been looking for years of video of this shot, nowhere to be found. Crazy

It's a good thing to let go of grudges.

Oh I'm all for TNIAAM being on the board. I have no grudges.

Surprisingly many choices !

To me, it all starts with the Pearl's shot against BC.

But who can argue with Gerry's greatest hits, including that Georgetown game?

Didn't mean you. Just board history.

 

[acuse816]

Right.

Pearl

 

[OrangeOnions]

It's Pearl.
But 8 Mile against Ucan't that didn't count was pretty cool.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Pearl and not even close for me, was there that night just amazing

 

[Eric15]

It terms of importance, I would think it has to be Cipolla's shot, as that's the difference between hanging a Final Four banner and not hanging a Final Four banner (well, SU is too weird to hang Final Four banners, but you get my point).

 

[MaxwellCuse]

Has to be Pearl. Just like the rejection belongs to Hak.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Hak's block

Do I want to know what those initials mean, or am I stirring up trouble?

 

[OttoMets]

Conrad McRae.
Pearl's a very close second. But the venue and the play itself (and the offensively-challenged shooter) put Conrad over the top.
