Tribute Video: Louisville Tops West Virginia In 2005 Elite Eight

The timing could not be more perfect. Awesome job CrumsRevenge.

Down 20? Leading scorer on the bench? Sound familiar?

Ellis Myles redshirting was so important. I really wish someone has done that this year. Buckles?

We HAVE to beat them this year.

3rd straight Sat. noon game (I think)? Cannot DEAL with another conniption-fit-final-minute-unfair-loss to WVU. Will not live through it.

Hands down, the best basketball game I've ever watched (along with that 6 OT game syracuse won in the tourney a few years ago)

WVU, mainly Pittsnogle, couldn’t miss… I didn’t know how the hell we won that game and I still don’t.

Well, I guess I can't say hands down if I included another game... but if I had to pick two.

I cannot believe we won that game sometimes. I have never seen so much go wrong for a team.

Incredible.

Glorious. Just glorious.

I really miss that team!

Also, I forgot how ugly that WVU team was…

We were the 3rd highest scoring team in the NCAA that year going into the tournament behind North Carolina (eventual champion) and Washington (who we spanked in the Sweet 16.)

Crazy to think about. We were such an awesome shooting team.

Yeah, I miss having great shooters so much

We were so lucky to have Taquan and Francisco just sort of fall into place at the beginning of the CRP era. Having shooters like that is such an enormous advantage.

I shouldn't leave out Larry O

Because by the time his senior year rolled around, he was the most dependable 3-point shooter on the roster, and with his leaping ability, he could really get off his shot.

two sides

The good: Thanks for reminding me how good we were.
The bad: Thanks for reminding me how good we were.

My favorite Louisville game ever. Kinda getting chills just watching this.

Thanks for posting!

crying, helpless and in despair during the first half. My friends were laughing hard (yes I watched the game with a bunch of UofL haters) and I really was crying. And as the comeback began and as the game concluded I ran around the apartment screaming like a mad man. It was the worst of times. It got even worse and then suddenly I blinked- and it was so much better. if only this season plays out like this game.

Seriously

do you have to go back six years for a highlight? All I remember is that we had tornado warnings so the local station had the game reduced to a 6-inch picture within a picture to keep the local weather goob front and center, so I had to sit about a foot from the TV to see the game.
