One Shining Moment thread...

Not sure I see why folks are disappointed. I counted eight total appearances for our team--more than any other year that I can remember except 2003. Six of them were positive, while two were (naturally) shots of UNC winning against us. They've got 63 winning teams through the whole thing, plus some agony of defeat (see, e.g., Texas vs. UNI) to plug in, and they still found time for a shot of Plugged-In Robie scrapping for a rebound while laid out on the floor. Of course they could have featured some other SU clips (G's windmill slam, the goggles, Cooney's dunk, G consoling Perrantes, Lydon's jillions of other blocks)--but overall I thought it was totally respectable. A decent set of clips after a really great ride. Let's look at that glass as half full.

I agree totally that it was very fair. We had a lot of highlights they could have included, but we're not the only team.

This might be the best One Shining Moment of the year.

USA today rankings of OSM since its '87 inception. Of course, for obvious reasons, 2003 is my fav, and USA Today's #2. Of their top 4, we made it to the championship game twice, and the Final Four in 2013, which was their #1.
