Duke 1
Duke 2
Nova


So close that I wouldn't complain if somebody put Nova as #1. All amazing games.

I had a hard time not putting Villanova one. If the last second shot had put us in the tournament that would be tough to beat

Anybody see the full nova game I can't find it anywhere

 

[Toga]

Pitt 2003. Duke 1 was probably the best game ever in terms of quality.

Pitt 2003

bad choice. Great game but not in the league with those three.

Syracuse 65 Georgetown 63. January 1985.

Is that Wildhack at the 20 second mark?

 

[JLine]

Nova is top for me. The Dome was electric, and we just played out of our minds. Nova didn't know what hit them.

 

[Bayside44]

What year was that Villanova game?

The Duke 1 game was epic, there were over 20K in the Dome two hours before tip. Took the elevator downstairs from the Sheraton and the lobby, bar and ballroom were just jammed, and the Dome had long lines before the doors swung unlocked. Playing for #1, Vanessa Williams, K and JB...

Nova was 2010

 

[Jeremy L.]

I wasn't in attendance for Duke 2.0 but was there for Nova and Duke 1.0.

You can't go wrong picking either of the latter as the better one.

 

[Zepharus]

Duke 1.0 was amazing. the atmosphere the fun. it was incredible. Not to mention the AZ loss that night put Cuse as #1

Amazing night, The Orange splats on the backboard, GT pulls his team from the floor, Pearl hits the game winner, Best court storming ever. I was there, the atmosphere was indescribable.

DITTO.

I'd also say the 2OT JTII ejection game was pretty awesome as well.
(I wasn't there for that one tho)

But honestly, my favorite was the comeback against them in '89, which had some of the most amazing highlights in a short period of time for a Syracuse team, ever.
Sherm capping off the win (and his Dome career) in OT with a reverse dunk - was amazing.

Dome Ranger came out of retirement for Villanova 2010 game.

That would be the answer for me.

That was a great moment. Nova is the answer out of the three for me because it was the first big record breaker game. So much build up for it. Then the team just comes out, and dominates.

How would you rank them.

Duke 1.0
Nova
Duke 2.0

Duke 1 and it's not close.
And I was at all three.

Duke 2 is a great ending but the entire Duke 1 game felt like a buzzer beater

 

[kirbivore]

Didn't go to Duke 2, So I'll rank them Duke 1 and Nova

 

[bornagainOrange]

Cant really compare these 3, but I was able to witness the 2 great games this yr (UVA and Duke) and this yrs Duke game still gives me chills when I think about it and that ending

 

[Trueblue25]

Was at all 3. Duke 1, duke 2, nova. Id put duke 2 first buttttt...Duke 1 was just the greatest college basketball game ive ever seen next to six in the city.
