Since today woudve been the Elite, time to go back in history.
Most heart breaking- 1990 no question
Biggest Dissapointment- 2006 no more words needed
Most Relaxing- 2004, sitting back drinking and watching Ben and Rashad draining 3s all day it didnt even matter that Emeka came out, I even took a nap during that game.
Most enjoyable- I would say 1999 nothing like the first one, 2011 in a way knowing how scary it was on the end and the path we were on you had a feeling we were wining it all when the buzzer sounded, the end of that game and the Pitt ending was like devine intervention. 2014 was an amazing feeling as well doing it in the Garden against the heavy favorites of the tourney, getting some revenge against MSU and of course making it worth while in the end something MSU didnt do in 2009, and even some revenge for the fans personally MSU fans having to player a lower seed with a home crowd, after the way they acted in 2009 serves them right.
Screwed over-
1995 vs UCLA in LA
,
1998 vs UNC in Charlotte I felt we would have beaten about any other team in that tourney, I knew we would
get back to the FF the year after once Rip stayed
2002 vs Maryland, felt we were the 2nd best team that time of the year, and Caron was the best player in the country, took a step back when Caron left.
Forgotten Elite 8- 1964 vs Duke, I can't say I remember that one it shows people we actually did have history pre Calhoun, upset Bill Bradleys Princeton team that year.
