My memories of that game (we were #1, they were #6, both undefeated) ...
We jumped out to a big lead and they rallied in last 5-6 minutes. Close win. Road game.
But my greatest memory of that game is Ala Abdelnaby (sp?) airballed a 2-handed dunk/stuff attempt because of the presence of DColeman (who did not jump IIRC). He was scared stiff.
I am telling you, it happened and even if my memory is faulty, that's how I will always see it in my mind.
Last thought is that, prior to that season, Rutgers must have paid Earl Duncan a lot of money to transfer, because he would have been famous as the starting PG on that team. We were stacked, but Stevie was not a lead guard (or a guard for that matter, he was a 6-foot-2 small forward).
