I'd go with this one too.  I was still living up in the Adirondacks then and it was just before we got cable TV (always had to run down to grandma's to watch cable).  Fortunately we got CBS out of Syracuse, though the reception was a bit snowy.  I was 13 years old.  I'll never forget that game.  From Brent Musberger dramatically opening the telecast with a line that went something like "welcome to the sold out Carrier Dome,"  to Billy Packer mentioning in reference to our 13-0 run (or was it more?) that he had never seen anything like this, though he did see Missouri/Notre Dame the prior day (ND had crushed #1Missouri).

For some reason that game sticks out in my memory.  As special as they come for me.  It was a simple time in my young life where Syracuse basketball was the almost a mystical thing of sorts.

Other games that come to mind was Gerry Macs late 3 against Notre Dame in 2003.  I was in the Dome for that one with a crew of about 8 that included my father and an old friend.  My dad's friend got kicked out of old 44's that day for a crime that he did not commit.  I remember we missed the end of St John's upsetting Uconn because of it.

I was living in Syracuse when we started off 16-0 around 1999 or so.  I was at the Uconn game that year and when I noticed that the students were going to rush the court.  I made my way over and ran out with them at the buzzer.  Got knocked over a table by a big girl but recovered and made it to the 3 point line.

I could go on and on. These last 2 were more special to me and maybe don't fall under "the greatest ever" category but this thread got me all nostalgic.  Great topic OP
