Message: [QUOTE="senorpalmer, post: 1315577, member: 234"] A lot of the frontrunners are way too obvious, led of course by Indiana. I was 12 years old and cried like my dog had died that night. Most painful moment as a sports fan for me ever. Some of the not so obvious choices that I don't believe I've seen mentioned... 1) BC 2014--SU is ranked #1 and loses at home in OT against a team that would go on to finish 7-24 on the season. Arguably one of the biggest regular season upsets in college basketball that I can recall in the last 20-30 years. 2) Louisville 2013 Big East championship--Our final moment in the Big East, in a packed house at MSG. Crowd clearly favors SU. SU leads by 15 at one point in the game before a monumental collapse that leads to a decisive Louisville win. I managed to get tossed from this game late, a Louisville fan accused me of something I did not do and security bought his story. To be fair I was kind of being a drunk a-hole by that point but not as bad as alleged. I lost my mind on the play where Hancock(?) was defending MCW and had two hands physically on him (a textbook foul), MCW clears some space and catches Hancock with an elbow before converting a nice drive to the hoop; refs call a flagrant on MCW which completely swings the game in the other direction. Prior to that play I had a healthy respect for Louisville; ever since then I would say that I hate them almost as much as I hated Gtown back in the 80s. The last real Big East championship game ever played should have belonged to Syracuse and not to one of the newcomers. They had that game won and let it slip away in disastrous fashion. 3) Georgetown 1984 Big East championship--if the refs don't overturn the call on Michael Graham's would-be haymaker, SU wins that Big East tournament. It felt like SU lost in the title game of the BET every year during the 80's (in reality, it was 5 times, while winning 2). 4) Georgetown 1988--great game with a wild finish, Gtown was kind of down that year but they were every bit as hard to defeat. SU takes the lead on a bucket with under 10 seconds to play, Charles Smith goes coast to coast and converts a layup just before the buzzer sounds. [/QUOTE]
