I have never heard the Hall or felt the surge in emotion as in those last seconds.

Although the f-ing roof blew off the Hall when sosa hit that shot too,
but …I wasn’t instantly grabbing a hugging my 200 lb friend and leaping up and down

So…by slim nod, the Tenn miracle

i couldn’t sleep i was so excited both nights. If Sosa doesn’t hit that shot, who knows how are season goes, but for Reece and Northern to hit those shots back to back to back. i had to give the edge to the Tennessee game, even though it was UK…it was a BADDDD UK team and we probably should have locked that game up early in the second half. best game UK played all year, bar none.

My vote goes to UT 2001. It was Pitino’s first year, taking over a decaying Louisville program left in shambles by a once great Denny Crum. Cards were the underdogs and were expected to lose. That comeback by Gaines and Northern was almost supernatural. You just don’t see that, hardly ever, anywhere.

The Sosa uk dagger was exciting, but was one step away from an embarrassment. Louisville should’ve kept the lead and won that game by 15. As stated, it was arguably the worst uk squad in the last decade and we almost blew it. Great shot to close out the W (especially against our rival), but IMO not nearly as stunning as the UT comeback.

I remember the UT like it was yesterday. It was amazing and that was tough year for the team. I saw them play University of Oregon out here in Portland and they got waxed by a very mediocre Duck team. So any win that year another step up in the rebuilding the program.

BUT, a last second shot to win the Battle of the Bluegrass is always priceless.

I’m at a loss, but I went with the ‘Good Eddie’ shot.

Flip a coin.

Therefore I went with the quickest comeback in history against UT. Like Mike said, this was thought to be a mediocre team taking on a good UT team. That comeback was like something out of a movie. The entire game was a good one to watch. Gaines knew exactly what he wanted and made it happen.

In Sosa’s dream shot, UK was way overmatched and UL should have put them away and held on. However, it is UK.

Had these two games appeared at opposite ends of the bracket, it’s certainly possible that they both could have advanced to the final match up of this whole Game of the Decade tournament. Instead, I was forced to oust Sosa for reasons mentioned previously and advance Gaines and Co. to the Elite 8. The UT game was a comeback of epic proportion, the UK game a nearly heart stopping collapse. Two of the three greatest UofL sporting moments I have ever witnessed in person, memories that will last for a long time.

is probably the best youtube moment for Louisville. The T-Will dunk montage is a close second.

For one reason alone though. I never saw the Tennessee game until about a year ago and while it looks very exciting, a grainy YouTube video just can’t do it justice. On the other hand, I watched the UK game live this year and when that shot went down I lept out of my seat and didn’t stop jumping and screaming for a solid two minutes.

But what made the UK game even better was the roller coaster of emotion leading up to The Shot. First coming off the embarassing loss to UNLV at home, having already lost to WKU and Minnesota. We had no idea how the team was going to turn out and if they were going to be any good or a 2006 repeat. Then feeling very good about having a solid lead against the cats with very little time left and starting to feel a little happy. Then watching that ridiculous run and Earl Clark foul out and feeling not only sadness, but fear and genuine anger. And then seeing that shot go down by none other than Edgar… it was joy. Pure, unadulterated joy. For me, it’s the best feeling I’ve ever gotten in my comparitively short sports lifetime.

Why does USF always fall to pieces this time of year?
