Few more corrections (these stick with me, I feel the same way you do about Senior Day).

We closed at home with Georgetown in 2000 before a two-game road swing; Notre Dame was later that week and St. John's closed it out with a frustrating loss. Georgetown was a big crowd but kind of a snoozer (they stunk and SU's offense had fallen off with Tony Bland having hit his midseason wall). But we won, which we didn't do against them in New York two weeks later.

St. John's was away in 2001 (Allen Griffin's triple-double game). I think we closed at home with Pitt on a weeknight.

Okafor did play in 2004, but not as well as Craig Forth did.

2005's Senior Day was against Providence - big rout, big scoring game from Warrick, and Boeheim's 700th win. One of my favorite underrated Dome games. Then they went to Storrs to end the regular season and got crushed.

The Nova game in 2007 was on the road and was very frustrating, because we'd gotten them in the Dome in a very well-played game and led for a lot of this one. Our last Dome game was against Georgetown on a weeknight, where we played just about perfectly against the top-ten, Final Four-bound team, crushed them, and in just about everyone's opinion sealed up an NCAA bid.

Marquette in 2009 was in Milwaukee (good win sealed with a late-game driving layup by Rautins). Senior Night was against Rutgers -- the Paul Harris self-alley-oop-and-eat-a-fan's-popcorn game. Lotta fun, but not the most memorable maybe.
