You beat me to it by 30 seconds!

Greatest SU comeback of all time?

 

[Trueblue25]

This game was an absolute classic.

Richardson had a lot of Elijah like talent.

Not even close.

Not even close.

For a freshman? Not even close? Really.

He was a scorer who at times showed he could athletically finish at the rim. Had a decent handle and could knock down shots off the dribble.

obviously he was not near the consistency of Hughes but, not even close? Disagree. Just needed to develop.

He had a great 8 minute stretch in the tournament. He was our 5th best player that year looking at the stats and I still can't believe he was drafted in the first round. And Oshae shot better than him from 2 and he was killed here.

Kevin Harlan “back from the dead on Easter Sunday.”
Great line at the end.

RICHARDSON HAS GONE MAD!!!

after Mali hits a 3 to put us up, 62-58, cameras cut to a young SU fan by the name of Jackson, losing his mind.

Really wish we were on the Nova/Oklahoma side of the bracket

We started making a run and all they could do was dribble 25 seconds off the clock every possession before getting into their offense.

And our press freaked them out. They totally fell apart when we threw that little token pressure on them

Game is much easier to stomach now that we won it all.
Still can't believe we lost that game though.

Which is more unbelievable...2016 or 2018?

 

[Brian Orange]

Never in a million years would I have guessed we could have come back and beaten those guys.

What if Virginia had won? Do they lose to a 16 seed in 2018? Does Virginia beat UNC in the Final Four, then take out Nova in the Champ Game? Does Nova's great run even happen if they lose that game?

 

[Charbroil]

Favorite part of that game was Richardson’s offensive rebound and pass fake under the basket to buy himself a split second for the put-back. That’s a move that might work on a playground, but don’t see it on a big stage like that often.

LOL...we lost to a 16 seed by 20 points. Is this a serious question right now?

What 16 seed did we lose to?

Thought my avatar would have given my fandom away

Best Easter ever.

Oh.

Duh.

Thanks for taking it easy on me.

waiting for some board members, like maybe that pizza one or the the t-bone, to come in here grumbling about fluke/mirage/doesn't count... in any case, I think this game (and prob the Gonzaga one before it) served to anger the anti-Boeheim segment in how it disrupted their narrative
