Nothing gets my heart rate going like that Arizona 2011 game. You're lying if you didn't think Horne's shot was in
just watch the 2004 semi against duke.. did not realize how big EO came up in that game. Thats one ledgendary performance..
And down 8 with about 2:50 left. Then Rashad hit the three and Emeka goes wild. Believe me, I was pacing the aisles of the Alamo Dome so I remember it well.Down 9 with a little over 4 minutes left. Rashad also hit some HUGE 3's
I've watched that game at least 5 times and I still think it's going in every time.I did not think it would go in. For some strange reason, when the first shot did not go in, I felt the game was won by the good guys and did not worry about that last attempt. I am not saying that I had some special cosmic knowledge of the future, I'm just saying that not everyone thought that shot was going in. I was, however, riding the mojo wave that was carrying that team to the summit and when Arizona's top guy missed, I "knew" the game was ours (and it was). If the last shot had gone in, I might have had a heart attack, but it did not and everything was right with the world.
I remember watching this with my dad and brother...they both were nervous and were starting to give up hope...I remember saying, you watch once EO comes back in it is all over...and it was.And down 8 with about 2:50 left. Then Rashad hit the three and Emeka goes wild. Believe me, I was pacing the aisles of the Alamo Dome so I remember it well.
