Syracuse - Georgetown 1985

[Toga]

The Dome was electric.

 

[Stevenson]

And I was there….

 

[OrangeXtreme]

My one and only court storming.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I was there too. Absolutely electric for the entire game. The Dome was only five years old, but it looks so much better 37 years later. JB’s teams turned the ball over so much more in the first 15 years of his coaching. Weird not seeing a three point line and the old rubber floor.

 

[rrlbees]

I too was one of the 100,000 people there.

I didn't realize they used a rubber floor. That had to suck when diving for a loose ball.

This was the game that did it for impressionable pre-teen me. Awestruck.

 

[OrangeDW]

That Seikaly tip in followed by Pearl steal and layup to go up 8 (around the 46:30 mark) while the commentators don’t even bother talking for about 30 seconds will always amaze me.

Tartan floor. It was the one from Manley.

Tartan floor. It was the one from Manley.

it was quite the rage all over for a minute there in the 80s

 

[DonLightfoot]

Great game, thanks for the link.

Ha. Just saw who you referring to. Cocaine is a powerful drug.

Some other nuggets…I was NOT at that game. I was in college at Brockport…watching it at a house a bunch of us rented. Which was actually not a bad gig because I’m pretty sure that game was blacked out in Syracuse because of those archaic old TV rules.

and that floor is still there now covered once more. There's a pic floating around of it exposed when the did the dome redo couple years back

 

[kirbivore]

The Dome was electric.

That was my 8th birthday and first Dome game.

 

[HOFCeluck]

If you look closely you can see four year old me high-fiving Pearl and taking pulls from a Colt 45 in a brown bag.

Me too. I was 8 years old and hooked now.

Might help you bounce right back up.
