[QUOTE="SBU72, post: 61465, member: 741"]
As you could probably tell, I am a Bona alumn from class of 72.  As an old [EMAIL]@rt[/EMAIL], I can say "back in the day" the basketball atmosphere at SBU was fantastic.  It held about 6000 (Is Dukes Cameron much bigger?) and at the time, close to half of the attendance were students.  You would be hard pressed to find a student on campus when there was a game on.  Since then they have remodeled it.  SU was never a yearly oppontent but schools like Villanova and Temple were.  I tell people here my 2nd favorite SU game was against SBU in '78 when SBU beat SU with 15 sec to go by a shot by Delmar Harrod for the ECAC slot in the NCAA.  Back then Ihated SU for taking Rosie Bouie away.  One could say that was near a turning point for Boanventure.  SU got Bouie, went on to the Big East and SBU did alright for a few years then went to the Atlantic 10 and for my money were in over their heads.  That lead to the big scandle a few years ago and they are just climbing out of it.  The head of the alumni assoc that commited suicide over the affair was my resident assistent in my dorm my freshman year and the Brown indian mascot that year.

As for Sanders getting arrested for stealing pants ina Rochester mall then playing the next day, back then that was common in college atheletics.
