Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 3753201, member: 3376"] I still think it's this: [MEDIA=youtube]dfqmU3kIgEE[/MEDIA] Kansas had lost earlier in the day, and Georgetown were about to be No. 1. It was early January, and while the team had been better than anyone expected, nobody really knew it was the Dream Season yet. We'd started getting the better of the likes of St. John's, BC, Providence and even Villanova and Syracuse in previous seasons. Not always winning or anything, but sometimes winning and always in the game. Not Georgetown, though. They were the Big Bad. So it's mid-January, and they're about to be No. 1, and it's a damn blizzard. The whole state's snowed in, but the Civic Center was filled and we were going NUTS from the tip, and it fed the team. Jumped out to a huge lead and it looked like the thing would be over by halftime. But nope. This was still Georgetown, and they just put their heads down and slowly bullied their way back into it. Then in the opening minutes of the second half, they finally got over the hump and took the lead. Could feel it all slipping away. Then Nadav did THAT. Three, steal, lay-up for Smitty. That is the loudest the Civic Center has ever been, and the loudest it ever will be. That was our biggest-ever regular-season win, and will be forever. And that sequence right there... that was it. That was a foundational piece of what UConn became, and will be again. [/QUOTE]
