In terms of overall importance... 1) J-Wall's 3 2) Jeff's shot vs Vandy 3) Jeff's winning bucket against ND in the BET semis.
In terms of moments that I really enjoyed... 1) Kenny's block 2) Roy's fast break dunk near the end of the BET final 3) Jessie's shot vs Nova 4) Jeff's fastbreak layup in BET semis which is to this day the single most athletic thing i have ever seen. pardon the hyperbole.
In the Miscellaneous Play Category 1) Ewing vs Beilein 2) Sapp vs Dudley 3) Halftime of the Nova game at Verizon when a very very intoxicated freshman seated in front of me somehow managed to throw a 50 strike with a full beer to strike one of the halftime staff in the head. In one of the most impressive displays of detective work ever- one of the AD employees identified the offender and tossed him out.
Great season.

Pat Jr.'s skying for the rebound of Ellington's miss at the end of regulation and the ensuing kiss of the ball.

I appreciated someone mentioning J. Wall throwing the ball high in the air at the end of that one game. Can't remember which one, but I recall thinking that that was Gtown basketball. Smart.

ND in the BET Semis, I didn't really see it until watching it on tv later because I was too busy jumping and screaming. I also missed Tory Jackson on the floor crying, oh well you get what you get

in no particular order:
-izzo's block against uconn, punctuating our first win over them in a decade and on senior day to boot!
-rainmaker's three to tie it against unc. there were several moments in the season where someone on the team stepped up and just made you believe. this was one of them.
-jeff's strip of john oates against bc for an offensive rebound, put back and the foul. great players make palys to win games. jeff didn't have the best game that day, but he made every play we needed that night.
-jeff's end of game sequence against nova at nova. he hits the bucket with under 20 seconds left to give us our first lead in ages, then makes free throws to seal it. there was a debate on the board earlier this season about who would take the shot to win the game. jeff answered that question for all of us.
-jeff against nd in the bet. proving that nova was no fluke.
-russell carter showboating in the first half of that nd game. that made our victory even sweeter.
-jeff against vandy. not just because he made the shot, but because all of us knew that he would.
-roy to pat for the reverse dunk against bc. what a great pass, and a satisfying dunk as the allegedly "more athletic" acc player of the year watched in awe.
-jesse from beyond half court against nova. kind of a coming out party for him, and that shot gave us tons of momentum and was the difference in the game.
-roy dominates aaron gray in the bet final. after that game there was no longer a debate about the conference's best center.
-sapp v. dudley. with all of the talk about being different from the hoyas of john. jr, jesse reminds every body that that doesn't mean we back down from anyone.
-the 58-72 debacle at the carrier dome. i hate the cuse as much as anyone, but if that game served as a wake up call before the end of the regular season, then i am thankful for it.

Pitt's chest-bumps at Verizon. We needed that.
