Best St. John's video ever!
« on: July 10, 2011, 02:41:08 PM »
Just reflecting back on last season, and wow was it awesome.  We had the eventual national champs and the defending national champs down near 30 each at one point.  The best moment to me, however, was the Pitt game.  It was a Big East slugfest.  They punched us in the mouth with that Woodall three with 12 seconds left and Hardy's answer was what legends are made of.  It was the CBS play of the year for those of you that didn't know.

I found a video from someone's cell phone on youtube.  It's amazing....I've watched it 100x.  St. John's vs. Pittsburgh Madison Square Garden: Dwight Hardy Game-Winning Layup

Another view of Pitt Game:
St johns v Pitt

Every recruit should be shown this video as soon as they step foot on campus.  Apologies to the Carrier Dome and Rupp Arena, but when MADISON SQUARE GARDEN and St. John's are rocking like this, there is simply no college venue that comes close. 

Enjoy.

God it feels good to hear noise in that building again.  As opposed to hearing someone's conversation on the other side of the arena like years past.

Thanks for bringing those videos back!

The AZ Alumni had picked the Pitt game for our annual  BB game reception.  After years of frustrated loses, it was great to not only see us beat Pitt, but how we did it.  Way to go, Dwight!

You might have heard our cheers all the way back in NYC that day.  Jack of AZ, or is it VA, almost lost his voice. Wow, what a game!

Still get Chills watching the replay and what I didn't notice at the game as we were going crazy in the stands was how the team did not celebrate but showed the discipline to play defense until the buzzer.  They were well prepared as a team--hopefully the new players also see this part of the game.

I wish I was there.  I was at an Applebees in Kentucky--the next game was UK and I think Alabama and the place was filled with UK fans.  I was going crazy and every tv in the place was turned to the game and all the UK fans were pulling for us loudly.  They all want St. John's to return to what we were...it was great.
