Not YT but this was on my Twitter timeline today. It is astonishing how much bigger, stronger, quicker and just better at basketball these guys are than what Syracuse has looked like recently. And this team was a 10 seed! Amazing how quickly the fanbase has forgotten how talented and good we would be even in our "down years." And that was a very much not greatyear until March. I skipped Easter dinner with a lot of family, to stay home and focus. By the end of the game I was a sweaty mess. Not sure I’ll ever feel adrenaline like that while watching a game ever again. Hard to care that much, these days.

Hard to care that much, these days. I had watched the first three games by myself that tournament. I'm a superstitious person (at times) and my girlfriend of multiple years asked if she could watch it with me while I was home for spring break/Easter and I told her no. Was pretty clearly the beginning of the end. I regret absolutely nothing.

Playing in Albany to go to the final 4. Listen to how loud the crowd is just on the jump ball. And then after we score the first hoop, the place was just rocking…..I’m so used to the entire Dome sitting down and checking out until the 10 minute mark of the second half if we’re losing. This crowd was blood thirsty!!!

Cuse - Auburn - 2003 Sweet 16. In the days where I knew other players - I was a big Marquis Daniels fan. And he hurt us and kept them in it.
But we were easily the better team. A 1 point win that was as safe as a 10 point win, if there ever was one. Orange crowd rocking in Albany. What. A. Time. That Warrick dunk to start the game is so classic. Win the jump. GMac brings it up. Passes to Melo. Passes to Warrick….DUNK. We were so good.
