this game is reminding me of my all-time favorite non Duke/State/UNC NCAA tourney game.

1994 #1 Purdue (Glenn Robinson & Cuonzo Martin) vs #16 Western Carolina (Pete Sessoms!)

Purdue squeaked it out in overtime and went on to get faced by Grant Hill on that amazing alley oop pass from Jeff Capel

Yeah, I remember all that stuff happening in 1994, except you made up that game.

as a Purdue fan, I believe the skittish game that had me biting nails was the year after Robinson left, and the opponent was not Western but A&T

my bad, 1996 where is my fact checker today.



Goddamit wrong about that too haha. Sessoms was the guy on ODU when they made that huge upset. #14 vs #3


But purdue did almost lose to Western carolina. Closest 16 v 1 game ever


Also #1 UNC fell behind by 11 points in the first half to #16 Fairfield one year when unc was great i think jamison/carter team. Fairfield was all white dudes and they just started bombing threes. They had a good lead at the half but they blew it.

The foul was before the shotclock expired so how was the foul negated by the shotclock violation? Strange rule situationright there and I don't feel like they got it right...

GO UNC

I hope Cuse wins. I want that #16 win to be against a legit #1.

Also, I want that #1 to be UNC.

[quote]You probably can't even verify that on google my memory is just that sweet sometimes"


so sweet you were off by two years and their star player you mentioned wasn't on the team

Purdue had six seniors on that team. I wasn't very confident entering the tournament as they ended the year on a down note and I think were the worst #1 seed that year. Purdue had a lead of something like 8 points with a few minutes to go and CBS cutaway to a potential upset and one of the teams I think was VCU (VCU lost). They came back and during being away the game had become tied. The losing team (I thought they were A&T, you say Western) threw up a desperation three from the backcourt at the end of time that if they hit it they'd've won but it was nowhere close. I remember one of the scrubs as they headed to the locker room was kinda half clapping and my dad yelled at the TV saying "what the f*ck are you clapping for?" Purdue then lost in the second round to the winner of the 8/9 game...Georgia maybe?

it was definitely western carolina. that part i got right haha the rest i got mostly wrong.

And you are wrong they missed a good 3 and then got the offensive rebound and missed again. Both shots hit the rim. Look it up.

Quote :
"After coming tantalizingly close to pulling the biggest upset in the history of the N.C.A.A. men's basketball tournament, the homespun head coach and his hot-shot assistant locked in a long embrace.

Phil Hopkins, an emotional man, had coached 16th-seeded Western Carolina to the verge of an upset of No. 1-seeded Purdue. No team seeded 16th has ever upset a No. 1 seed. Few have come close. Western Carolina had one shot to win and another to tie; both attempts hit the back of the rim in the final seconds. Hopkins wept at the news conference, telling reporters, ''We deserved to win.''"


Quote :
"Instead, Western ended up as a footnote. With his team trailing, 73-71, point guard Joel Fleming missed an open 3-pointer on the last possession. Joe Stafford, who led Division I in 3-point accuracy that season, grabbed the rebound and missed a 15-foot shot at the buzzer.

''They both hit the back corner of the rim,'' Hopkins said, recalling the shots. ''Almost the same spot.''

Matta said, ''I don't know a day goes by where I don't think about missing those two shots at the end.''

Matta rode the momentum of the season and took a job on Coach Charlie Coles's staff at Miami of Ohio. He made $30,000 in his only season at Western Carolina, a far cry from his salary of nearly $2 million today, but he called it one of the most exciting seasons of his career."

more like the refs screwed them on the most obvious goaltend ever.

But yeah UNCA is choking like crazy with these ridiculous passes. Dont let the other team have free baskets, especially a transition team like cuse
