1987 championship against Indiana. Felt like Syracuse had the game in hand by answering every threat that Indiana (mainly Alford) put forward. Really excited that Syracuse was going to win. My brother called from Texas with less than a minute remaining in the game and jinxed the whole thing by saying what do you think? Back then, I did not have a cell phone and had to leave the room to answer the land line. Sucked the entire excitement and momentum out of the game leaving us with the eventual ending. I blamed him for many years until I finally forgave him in 2003. By the way, he tried calling me before the end of that game but, I did not answer.
