My favorite game was Duke but my single favorite moment was the Hardy last second scoop against Pitt.

My top 3...1) the Duke game. My little sister is a Duke grad. For once...I could talk some smack to her! 2) The UConn game. Seeing the Pukon contingent slink out of the Garden after the game almost brought a tear to my eye!  3) The UCLA game. Yes it was a loss. However meeting so many great fans...2,500 miles away was awesome!

For me yall know what it is......dj oop to burrelll for that number one spot on sports center. the pitt game was like nothing I have ever been apart of. the duke game was a shocker plus I was sitting next to the sexiest duke fan ever. BUT nothing tops the Nova game. That shit had me thanking dunlop and rico like a bitch. I never felt so damn proud. That's shit was amazing the nova fans was shocked and we had some great cheesesteaks after the game

Gotta be the Pitt game for me. The Duke, Uconn, GTown games were all incredible, but I've never seen a crowd before like the crowd for the Pitt game. I've never seen the Garden that packed and all wearing red. I've never heard the entire crowd start its own "defense" and "lets go johnnies" chants. I've certainly never heard the entire crowd chant "hey! you suck!" when the band played the hey song. To me, it was like the real coming out party for the program and its fans. It was the exclamation point. It was that very moment when Dwight finger rolled the ball in for the winner and saw the Garden absolutely erupt where I FINALLY said to myself: WE'RE BACK

Aside from that, the other moment I'll remember for a very long time was seeing Rob and JB crying on senior night. I wanted to cry when I saw that.

All in all though, this was one of the most satisfying and enjoyable season's I've ever endured as a sports fan for any of my teams.

1) hardy layup against pitt
2) hardy reverse layup against gtown
3) win against villanova.  i attended that game live. it gave me such great pride to be surrounded by so many johnnie fans
4) i know it's corny, but this picture and this moment is an incredible accomplishment for these young men (for those that can see it, enjoy):

I think he is a few credits short, probably something to do with JUCO transfer credit problems.  He will probably graduate in the summer.

Got to be Dwight buckets breaking the Pitt hearts as an individual moment. For the team, nothing beats the Pukon blowout. Sweet !

A lot to choose from but I'll go with the ending of the Pitt game, just when you thought the Garden couldn't get any louder Dwight walks the tight rope for a layup!!  :)

Killing Duke and Hardy's winner vs. Pitt. But there were so many. For the first time in a decade it was fun rooting for this program. May it go on indefinitely!  :)

Ditto. My favorite moment was Dwight's game winning basket against Pitt and my favorite game was spanking Duke at MSG. It was a fun season it just ended a little too early.

The entire Pitt game. It was the only game I could fly up from FL to attend all season, but the atmosphere was something I never got to see during undergrad ('05-'09)

 Brownlee's dunk against Duke is up there though ... Justin Brownlee big dunk against duke 1/30/11

having court side seats vs pitt and going on espn after coming back from a commercial with 27.6 seconds left cheering and screaming "lets go" along side my friend and then being right next to dwight hardy on the baseline when he hit the bucket and watching the garden go crazy, not only did i get to be a witness to the best play of the year, i was on national television right before it. this game was not only my favorite moment from the 2011 season but my favorite moment in any sporting event!!!!

The first half of the Duke game is the obvious answer, but for those of us who went on the Sly Foxx bus trip down to Villanova will never forget the end of that game, with the "We Are.. St. John's" chants, as all of the Nova fans were going home dissapointed.

That was pretty special.  I recall Hollywood military style saluting up to us in the nosebleeds during the chants.
