Just a reminder about who and where we play tomorrow..

No way that was a charge either. He
moved underneath him. I hope it sounds as orange as this tomorrow!
 
Always have loved that video just for the crowd reaction. It sends the place into absolute pandemonium. Both for and against. Awesome!
 
Not sure I've ever seen an arena so charged as that moment.

The whole night really built up to that. We had obviously had our share of fans before but that was the first takeover of a gym that I could remember. Rutgers fans, who've always prided themselves on the RAC being a true homecourt advantage, were so shocked that we brought so many fans and there was an arrogance from our fan base that was just palpable and drove them insane. They wanted to shut us up so badly, to send us home with a loss. And then the dunk happened on Rosario of all people, who they considered the messiah at the time. You kind of get it in that clip but the entire place was standing for several minutes after the dunk, our fans cheering, theirs just shell shocked.

The next day their board was filled with posts like "I woulda punched that Cuse fan behind me but..." and then the sentence would end up talking about how their wife was there, or they were too old, and other excuses that mask the fact that they had no balls. Anyway, it was just a really, really fun game to be at. Near the top of my list.
 
I thought this was going to be a post about Lamizana. I would trade a loss tomorrow for another national championship.
 
Cool. Be extra good if our fans take over that dumpster they play in.

StopCoolio (whom I met for the first time that night) is correct - truly electric. Unfortunately, my right hand and shoulder still ache from the high-fives nycfan and I exchanged that night.
 
Don't believe so because he just set up a visit for Arizona (Feb 29th I believe) and possibly Louisville (Feb 25th)

We are getting Ennis and Noel. The Orange Express is on the roll, baby.
