10 Biggest Games This Decade

10 biggest games of the past 10 years:

1) UCONN 03/05/2010- Boothe dominated Kemba in the BET 1st round, Norm lived to see another couple weeks, lost a heartbreaker to Memphis in the NIT:

2) PITT 02/19/2011- Resume solidified with upset win over #4 Pitt at the Garden.

3) USF 03/05/2011- The blackout game USF, took us off the bubble, ran USF out of Queens.

4) CUSE BET 03/10/2011- The infamous DJ injury against Cuse that immediately lowered our seed in the NCAA.

5) @CINCY 01/05/2013- Breakthrough win for Lavin's first recruiting class. Statement win at Cincinnati. Harrison/Obekpa/Jakarr were all terrific:

6) @CUSE 12/06/2014: To me this is the most satisfying win of the past 10 years, snapped a 9-game skid against Syracuse, set the table for a NCAA season:

7) HALL 02/21/2015- Decimating Hall to solidify NCAA appearance. Oddly enough Mullin was honored at this game, a month a half later he'd succeed Lavin as HC:

#8 & #9 are the 2011/2015 NCAA games, this is based upon relevance. Obviously the Duke and #1 Nova 2018 wins would be ranked if they meant anything for NCAA seeding. My #10 is next Tuesday night. What are yours?

Lavin’s 1st year. Georgetown, UCONN, Duke, at Nova,Pitt (number 1), Syracuse in big east beat atmosphere that I have ever been in for a game.
Phil Greene game at Syracuse.
Duke game 2 years ago- meant nothing but was fun.
Arizona last week.
18 more games this year

Arizona last week is definitely one of the biggest wins this decade, that game could definitely be on my revised list haha.

Lavin's first year was great. Duke and Pitt at the Garden. He put the ball in Hardy's hands, and Hardy was unconscious during that stretch to the NCAAs. Each of the games we beat Syracuse, that was great. Let's add NYE v Butler.

We were way off the bubble before the USF win in 2011.  Yes, it was "only" our 20th win, but we were top 5 nationally in RPI and SOS, at the time.  The truth is, the Pitt win probably took us off the bubble that year.  If not that game, then the Nova win.

My favorite game of the decade, maybe the best SJU game I've ever been at, was the Duke game, from Lavin's first year.  We've never played the perfect half of basketball, but the first half of that game was about as close to perfect, as I've ever seen us play.  It's also what got the ball rolling WRT the second half of that season, and the run we made (we were 11-8 going into that game), so it had a great impact.

I'm hoping #10 is Villanova from last year.  That game rocked.  I know last year ended in disappointing fashion, but the home games against Marquette, Villanova, and Seton Hall, we 3 of the best games to be at, in recent years.

I’ve been to many games, but that comeback against Villanova at Garden last year definitely should be in the 9/10 spot...Garden was Rocking!!!

The Nova and Marquette games from last year were definitely oversights on my part lol.

I took my Dad to the Nova game last year. Fun game and great atmosphere.

I don’t remember the UCF. We happened
