I know it has been asked somewhere in these 45 pages, but can someone tell me if there is a site to get the replay of the game. I had to watch the Tennessee v Texas A & M game yesterday.

To the Stonewalls - please accept my apologies for mistakenly calling you the "Stonehills" in my prior message. My nephew was visiting Stonehill College this weekend, and still inebriated with joy (and other libations), I got confused with the nomenclature. I promise to call you guys anything you want as long as you continue to provide the awesome support you do.

for those of you speculating on whether this was the best performance by a hoya under jtIII ... shame on your short memories. jeff green had games in back-to-the-wall, elimination situations (BET and NCAA) in which he took over in startling fashion, put da team on his back, etc., a la greg jennings or otto last night, the crown jewel of which was a 30 pt, 12 reb performance against notre dame in the BET semis, capped off with a game winning contested j w 13 secs left. that game certainly rivals otto's performance against SU.

Does anybody know if there is a way to purchase this game from somebody/somewhere?

Um, yeah, I was at that game and, yeah this one is right up there given the stakes and oppressive atmosphere. I don't think anyone is forgetting Jeff's ND performance but Otto's utter domination of a Top 5 defensive team in the Nation still takes the cake IMO but its certainly debatable. ND was/is never known for its D.

Did anyone else notice that MCW had an interesting approach to creating a moving screen when facing the 2-3. He would pass he ball, then he would cut in front of the high defender and stumble and fall into him. He did this 2-3 times. It looked to be an attempt to create space so that his teammate could shoot. Anyone else notice this?

Great win. It should also be clear now that we have no real evidence of any kind that Syracuse is an elite team this season. They have one impressive win at Louisville, and that's it. They lost to us, they lost at Pitt, and they lost at Nova. Beating Cincy and ND and SDSU at home doesn't tell us much. Three more losses for the Orange is hardly out of the question. I think Louisville will run the table, and Pitino always has them surging by March, and Marquette also has a favorable schedule if it can muster the ability to beat a decent St. John's team away. There’s no such thing as an elite team this year.. Everybody is beatable, Syracuse is one of the more talented though. They beat SDSU in San Diego, not at home.. Easy mistake to make considering the game was before January 1st though

Ditto that! Thanks Tarkman for bringing the action from the inside to us. Good memories.

You know people have actually mentioned Jeff's game against ND quite a lot in this thread.

Does anybody know if there is a way to purchase this game from somebody/somewhere? How much are you willing to pay? ;D ;D ;D In all seriousness if you can't find anyone with the game I'll try to hook you up. Send me a pm.

Maybe this has alread been posted (I didn't see it) but some guy named Jeremy Lundblad of ESPN tweeted this information yesterday:
Otto Porter & Kemba Walker are only player with 33 pts, 8 reb, 5 stl vs top 25 team in last 10 years. Both came against Syracuse.

Forgive me if this has all been said already, but I don't feel like reading 40+ pages of posts. I just keep replaying Moses swatting the sh*t outta Christmas in my head, which was made all the more sweeter when you remember how badly most of us wanted Rak to be a Hoya. Otto clearly deserves every bit of praise he is getting, but Moses was our second best player yesterday, bringing exactly what we needed in that game, defense and rebounding. Though the same could be said of Jabril with his ability to create off the dribble when Markel and DSR were clearly struggling. We dominated them in the second half when he was on the floor. Kid is a wrecking ball. Is he still a "fake tough guy?" yup Otto is the real tough guy. 33 points in that setting. Trawick had a nice game, but you guys go nuts if he chews his gum a certain way. Harlem, you know I love you right? You know I respect you right? You're straight up killing me over this Jabril is a "fake" tough guy stuff. There is and has and never will be nothing fake about his toughness. Otto was no doubt the superstar yesterday, but I contend Jabril won that game for us. We had NOTHING going against that zone until he started getting into the lane. Otto got three wide open looks because of Jabril's penetration. DSR's 3-pointer that gave us an 8 point lead? JaBril's penetration. Otto's four-point play? Jabril shifted the zone by going to the rack. Brandon Triche's 3-14 performance? Who do you think guarded him? This isn't one game. How about Cincy and Sean Kilpatrick? remember how he DESTROYED us last year? Remember how we heard NOTHING from him a week ago Friday? Yeah. Jabril locked his behind up, had him in handcuffs. How about the Marquette game? They tried manhandling us. Jabril put a shoulder into their big boy, knocked him on his behind. Yeah, they didn't manhandle us. Jabril may not be the prettiest offensively, but he's effective. Defensively, he's already one of the two or best perimeter defenders in the Big East. He's fearless and it rubs off. Teams that tried to intimidate us last year don't anymore. It's that simple. The guy is all the way tough. He's one of our most important players. To check his value look at two things. 1) Yesterday with him on the bench, we were down at the half. With him in the game? Yeah, we dominated. 2) Greg has been gone a month. We've lost once. Who replaced him in the starting lineup? The guy is a bigger, much more athletic version of Jessie Sapp. He's a more athletic Bradley Wannamaker. If he improves his offense over the next two years, he has a chance to be a pro. He already plays pro defense and has pro two guard size. Please, stop calling him a fake tough guy. You would be better off saying you just hate his guts, because there's been nothing fake about his play, or the impact he's had on our team.
