One of the great games in there is the 1988 Preseason NIT game vs Indiana. Syracuse got revenge for the 1987 Title game by crushing Indiana. Worth watching for the defeated look on Bobby Knight's face. That's the game where Sherman D had the through-the-legs-pass for a layup, IIRC.

I just finished the 1996 Final Four game against Mississippi State at the Meadowlands.
Boy, that team had an athletic front court, and great, great interior passing. That's what our offense used to look like. Only Wallace was a 5 star, but Otis and Burgan were athletic and rebounded really well.
Not a ton of outside shooting on that team, but just enough. Even though they were "big, slow guys", Z Sims and Cipolla cheated down to the foul line, but had very good lateral quickness, Guys did not get past them on the drive very often.
What was the talent level on that team? Wallace - 5 star, Burgan, Hill and Cipolla (before his transfer) were all 4 star players, and the rest - Reafsnyder, Z Sims and Janulis were all 3 star, role playing guys. Reafsnyder had a bit of a nasty streak on defense, and was our best "Stetch 5" probably up to that point in time (or was it Sean Kerins?).
Boy, that was a lot of fun. Here's a link. All commercials taken out. Thanks to the Post-Standard.

i was at this game, MSG, me and a few alum buddies
We had a guy from work who came with us and I remember sitting behind a row of IU fans. My work friend was absolutely brutal to those IU fans as we demolished their team.
Felt good beating those guys that night but nothing, and i mean NOTHING, will ever lessen the sting of Keith Smart. Hurts to this day. -sigh-

Ain't it the truth. The 1987 NC game was the first time SU-IU ever played. Since then, we're 5-0. When we beat them, it was always in big games (NIT Pre-season, 2 Maui finals, ACC-B10), with none bigger than the 2013 Sweet 16 upset. Each felt fabulous at the time, but I still think about the '87 loss way more than any of them.
In 2003, sometime after SU won the title, the '87 Final came on ESPN Classic and I decided to watch it, thinking the pain would surely have receded. I ended up screaming at the TV over ref calls and missed opportunities. My wife thought I was insane. Syracuse was the reigning national champions and she couldn't understand why I was blowing up about a loss from 16 years earlier. That's when I knew that particular pain was forever.
1986-87 was the first year of the three-point shot. It's impossible to say how the NCAA season would have unfolded without it. All I figure, if there was no 3-point shot in the '87 Final, SU would've won.

Yeah.
I thought I’d be cute and say all but 2013 since I enjoyed that Final Four and have no recollection of 1987, and then I put the glue down.

I'm only 13 minutes deep into this one... but I had to pause and note what a smokin' hot car the Pontiac Bonneville was... these commercials are absolute gold... I refuse to fast-forward past them.
Just tried to pull up the Manhattan game he posted and that was taken down too.

Makes no sense. These are VHS-quality transfers, and there are no recordings of these games available for purchase. Who does it hurt to have these available? Watching these games only increases fan interest in the game.
