2011 BE tourney final vs Louisville on ESPNU now

[CL82]

Great game.

 

[huskyinfl]

Can't wait for the ankles to break

 

[CL82]

I always love that play in the Pittsburgh game. The thing I forgotten is, just how quick this team was and how easy it was for them to get steals.

 

[CL82]

Wow, Napier getting tightly guarded and he just had a sick one hand SideArm pass to Coombs McDaniel

 

[huskyinfl]

You are far more advanced than me. We are down by 2 and I am nervous.

 

[CL82]

Feeling better? Awesome U C O N N chant. Damn I am so looking forward to another Big East tournament in the Garden!

 

[CL82]

Man, Roscoe is such a fun player to watch. Not the best player on the floor, but all heart and in on every play

 

[huskyinfl]

Great way to start the weekend. You are right the speed and pressure of this game was insane at some points.

Feels even better knowing scumbag Ricky was doing all that sketchy shit on the recruiting trail at the time.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

MSG chanting "Let's Go Huskies" makes me tingle.

 

[BlueMAB]

Don't let Knowles shoot, don't let Knowles shoot, don't let Knowles shoot....

 

[Marat]

MSG chanting "Let's Go Huskies" makes me tingle.

A Louisiville fan in front of me couldn't believe how many UConn fans were there. He said it sounds like we were in CT. Good times... and we will be back.

Damn. I missed it. Calhoun is being interviewed now. As huskyinfl suggested I can't help but get caught up in the action as if it's live. I remember yelling at Donny Marshall in a game that had been played 5 years earlier. He really botched getting that loose ball though.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

The Garden will never be like that again, but man it was great! I had forgotten we beat Sara in that tourney. 5 games in 5 nights....simply amazing.

 

[businesslawyer]

I was lucky enough to be there that night with my sons. Both years I saw us win the Big East in person ('04 and '11) -- well, you can figure it out.

I remember LV going to the line at the end, and never remembering the Garden being that loud when a team was shooting free throws.

I was just going to post that. I remember thinking to myself how there was no way Marra was hitting all of those free throws given the pressure of the situation and how loud that crowd was.

 

[David 76]

We won!

The Garden will definitely be like that again! Big East tournament is just as great now as it was then.

The Garden will definitely be like that again! Big East tournament is just as great now as it was then.

And it will be even better now that we are in it again. UConn/Villanova as two ranked teams for the Big East Championship would make MSG electric.

 

[sledog]

What an ending!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

How did that team lose 9 games again?

 

[JCSuperstar]

Big East refs stopped calling fouls on anyone guarding Kemba during the conference season. At least, that's how I remember it.

Makes sense.

 

[JB75]

Best part of that game was when kemba stole it from siva and then dunked it pretty much on him. I remember watching that game with my pops. We were going nuts

 

[hardcorehusky]

Shocked ESPN didn't alter the outcome to a Ville win!!

 

[Ratso]

correct me if i’m wrong, but i remember final 4 dicky v saying he asked david lighty (ohio st) that kentucky was gonna win with all the talent. and lighty said no way anyone’s beating kemba

The Beast was great because almost every game was against a rival or at least someone to whom you would hate to lose. That would take years to rebuild if it is even possible.
I will just be happy to see us at MSG again in a game that matters. But it won't feel like the old days.

Welcome to the yard'!

Syracuse and Pitt are the only legit hateable rivals and they both kind of suck now. The rest of the conference is the originals and some really good programs added on. Garden will be rocking in the future.
