I know I can’t be the only AMHD member who stayed up way too late to watch the basketball game last night. In case you are clueless I am talking about SU vs. UCONN that went to a record 6 overtimes. Okay maybe I am biased because I am an SU fan but that has to be one of the greatest basketball games of all time. What more can you ask for, last minute shots, great playing, hall of fame coaches, only thing I didn’t like were the stupid announcers.
Well I cannot stop thinking about it so if anyone wants to talk about it I will be here…

What an amazing game!! I thought the 'Nova/Marquette was the game of the day but Uconn and 'Cuse took the cake. It was the best game I have ever seen and watch a ton of Basketball. They almost had the record for most OT in a game. I kind of feel bad for 'Cuse because they have to play WVU tonight. WVU had a pretty easy win over Pitt and didn't play a marathon. Can not wait for tonight!!

I like Syracuse . The last time I was there we saw some friends. We went to this biker bar Bar B Q joint for lunch .It looked like dive but the food was great.

Yes Dinosaur BBQ in the city, pretty famous in the Syracuse area… Known as the best BBQ place in Central New York. If you want pulled pork I can’t find anywhere better in the area. Defiantly a dive though.
So I think SU might be a 5 or 6 seed in the NCAA now, Uconn now probably a number 2 seed.
And after having some time to think about it, with out a doubt last night was the best SU basketball game ever and it makes the short list for the best college game in history.

Yesterday the Orangemen caught a break. It only took one overtime to win against WV .
Next up is Louisville in the conference championship game.

Another great game, although nothing compares to that 6 OT game just nothing can comes close to that. There are these awesome t-shirts you can by in town here. I think I am going to go pick up a few. (Please note this is not an Ad just one fan talking to another)
It took only a few hours, but local T-shirt maker hopes to cash in on Syracuse-UConn overtime game - Orange Basketball Blog on syracuse.com (http://blog.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2009/03/it_took_only_a_few_hours_but_l.html)
Me and my wife don't have much of a voice left after the last two nights. Tonight should be a great game too. Even if SU doesn't win, who cares they have proved the can win against any team in the country.

Well we didn't pull it off last night but I don't think it takes anything away from what they have already done!
Let's see what we can do in the big dance. The guys will have a chance to rest... GO CUSE.
