So now that its gonna be buried in this thread, here is my full dissertation on why that particular game, one wherein Syracuse played fantastic for 29 minutes to a 14 point lead and then I think made one field goal the rest of the game, does not give me the sports fanatic mental agida, and has not for a long time before Tom Izzo's latest loss to James Arthur Boeheim.

I watched it with my buddy Ron in his home (not a board member) and he moved for a job to Minnesota later that year.  I went back to school in '02 because I saw Carmelo in the McDs game point forwarding it up and was pretty excited about the season possibilities so Ron and I decided to meet up on 2-23-03 @Michigan St.  A week before the game my 1990 Dakota caught fire and was fully burning and I risked life and limb to open the passenger door and choke on the death smoke so I could get the envelope of tickets I had therein and this was also my first time at a road game and we were there waaay before tip and walking the Breslin Center we found a certain pretty crystal basketball from that 2000 year that we stared at as I was channeling foreshadowing with my Orange Soul.  Melo was 5-5 from three and Hak threw down several times in an escape win in their house.  They had several chances to win late after being down 76-70 and missed a tip at the buzzer in IRRC.  I think they made the elite eight that year as well.  Remember walking out of there and we were treated like we were invisible, No smack, no eye contact.  Actively avoided.  It was that rare shadenfreude drinking the tears that March01 so recently enjoyed.

Syracuse has freaking owned Michigan St since they gave up that comeback, that is what I am saying.
