Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 5064383, member: 12147"] I only have deep memories of 14/23/24 and distant memories of 11, so going to pick from those years R64 - St Joes 2014. Can you believe that this game was the closest game of that run? A team with Shabazz, Boatright, and Daniels was saved by an Amida Brimah and1. The rest was history R32 - Northwestern 2024. We were so dominant in the first few minutes of that game, and that's when I knew the championship was ours to lose. Close #2 is Villanova 2014 - watching the supporting cast hold us over with Shabazz on the bench in the first half, then Bazz taking us home in the second was great Sweet 16 - SDSU 2011. Kemba almost dropped 40, him and Lamb almost outscored SDSU's entire team on their own. This was the first year I really started watching college basketball and it was a magical time to start! Elite 8 - 2014, 2023, 2024 are pretty much 1A, 1B, 1C. If I had to pick one, I'd pick Gonzaga 2023. We absolutely demolished one of CBB's premier programs by 30 and we started to feel untouchable. VERY close #2 is 2014 against MSU in the Garden, capped off with a Phil Nolan slam Final 4 - Florida 2014. Florida was undefeated from December - March that year with 2 exceptions, UConn in December and UConn in the Final 4. The DeAndre Daniels game! Close #2 is Kentucky 2011 National Championship - Kentucky 2014. I was a student that year, cheering in Gampel with 10k people, and that night is one of my favorite memories of my 4 years. "Tapped into the hands of Boatright, with 5 seconds, and this most improbable tournament run comes to an end with a UConn championship!" will forever be burned into my memory [/QUOTE]
