Pearl's Shot vs. Gillon's Shot

[Jeremy L.]

Can we compare?

Pearls was further away, this shot I think was more important to our season

Agree. This was a win against a top ten team and the hated Duke Blue Devils

 

[AlaskaSU]

Pearl kept on running, straight to the locker room to call his Mom.

Yup, and kept our tourny aspirations alive.

 

[RF2044]

Pearl's shot is obviously historically bigger.

But if this team makes the tournament and somehow goes on a run, then this shot [which may have saved our post-season chances] could earn its own place in program lore.

Here's hoping.

Gillon's shot vs. GMAC'S big east Tourny shots are very comparable

 

[HtownOrange]

Can we compare?

They both wore Orange
They both played point guard
They both had buzzer beaters
They both hate Georgetown

I'm good with this comparison so far...

 

[two3zone]

Gillon's shot was worth 3 points, Pearl's only 2. Advantage Gillon.

 

[Trueblue25]

No comparisons need be made. We're in a new era of Orange basketball. This is it's own chapter. We'll all remember where we were for this shot. Just as many of you remember where you were for Pearls. Lets soak it in. F Duke.

Gillon's shot was worth 3 points, Pearl's only 2. Advantage Gillon.

That's cause there was no 3point line back then, nice try though

I was kidding around.

I was kidding around.

I figured so but had to bust your chops.

 

[MarketCuse]

Tonight's shot definitely lands on the list and with more games to go, it could rise quite a bit if we go off in the tournament.

Here's some more fun stuff!

[Toga]

Wasn't even Pearl's best shot.

 

[MarketCuse]

The Pearl's Shot Still Sends Shivers Down My Spine... RIP My Brother!

 

[MarketCuse]

Al McGuire FTW!

 

[Toga]

Al McGuire FTW!

Miss you Al.

 

[newmexicuse]

I actually thought it reminded me more of the Ennis shot...

and, yes, i am old enough and saw both.

"BINGO BONGO BABY, OHHHH... CAN YOU IMAGINE THE CARRIER DOME RIGHT NOW"

3:20 - 3:50 Pure Awesomeness!

Pearl's was deeper, and somehow, there seemed to be a bigger 'explosion' from the audience. That was true pandemonium. But, this was against DOOOOK, soooooo...

 

[MarketCuse]

Not many flew higher here than Hak Warrick or as Lenny Elmore likes to say Hakim Warwick!

I do miss the days when SU had 5-6 home-court away games every year. Best part of this dunk was the audio, it was like ohh nahhh then thud as he embarrassingly crumbled to the floor.
