I was attending BYU when that game was played. I talked so much smack leading up to that game. SO MUCH. I went to a few BYU games on campus that season and knew they wouldn't be able to hang. That was one of the best games they had played all season I thought. Right on the first possession I remember we threw it down to Warrick and he got a dunk or a lay up off a pretty simple post move and I knew it was game over.

To this day when BYU fans find out my true allegiances lie with Syracuse they bring that game up and say something like "You gotta admit though, if McNamara didn't score 40 BYU would have won that toruney game" and I break all goodwill sports fan laws of graciousness and am adamant that I will not admit that, that it didn't matter how much or how little GMAC had, there was no way Syracuse was losing that game because they were such a better team, and BYU played as well as they could have and it still wasn't enough.

I also called it that Nichols would play well against them. BYU didn't have a forward anything like him that season to match up. Glaring difference between power conference schools and mid-majors.
