This may officially be the greatest sporting event I have ever watched live.

We're entering "College Football's goofy-frickin' overtime rules" territory, here.

This is good stuff and of course I have no clue what you've watched live but IMO this comes nowhere close to Federer-Nadal at Wimbleton last year, or last year's U. S. Open. In fact, I think I might have the National Championship game last year above this game.

Well the way I see it is that i'll probably never forget this game. Truly a privilege to see this game unfold over the past several hours.

That being said, games with more on the line invariably carry more weight. And as you alluded to, the Championship game last year is just about as good as it gets.

Federer-Nadal was the same thing, basically. But that's a good one (and I did watch it live).

And that'll do it.

What an amazing game.

'Cuse didn't even have a non-regulation lead until this overtime, and yet they end up winning by eight.

Jonny Flynn played 67 minutes! Unbelievable!

Paul Harris had 29 points AND 22 rebounds!

'Cuse went 40-51 from the free-throw line.

UConn shot 36 threes...and made 7 (19%).

Four players scored at least 28 points.

'Cuse got 20 of their 24 bench points from Andy Rautins. UConn only scored 17 bench points: the starters for both teams scored 103 and 100 respectively.

Eight players (four apiece) fouled out.

Did I miss anything?

Wow!

As a Cuse fan, I'm sorry I turned this one off with Cuse down 2 with about 10 minutes to go in regulation. But, well, I can't imagine having to be at work at 6am if I had stayed up for this one.

Imagine if the UConn-Syracuse game was the 7:00 game. The WVU-Pitt game wouldn't have started until 11 pm!

Wow! It was a heck of a game. Though I really have to question UConn's stamina- they had no legs left in the 6th OT:D

I think Syracuse had 2 walk-ons on the court to end the game, and their PG played 67 (!) minutes.

Insane game. I watched all of regulation, missed the first 3 and a half overtimes, and watched the last 2 and a half overtimes. Not every day you can say something like that.

Whos gonna be the number 1 seeds??

I still think it's UNC/UConn/Pitt/Memphis. I think if Louisville wins the Big East Championship that might knock UConn to a #2 in the committee's eyes. I think Pitt gets a #1 over UConn because they beat UConn twice in the regular season conference play.

If I had it my way, if Louisville won I would knock out Memphis, not UConn. Memphis has won 24 games in a row, but the competition has not been impressive at all. Back in December they lost two games against the Big East, to 'Cuse & Georgetown.

In my mind it would be hard for Louisville not to get a #1 seed after winning the Big Ten regular season & tournament championship.

      Cal thinks Holiday moved to fast through the system

      This is no big deal ….He has a right to have an opinion. I believe Holiday was called up too soon. I  also believe the front office was pressured by Hollidays father and agent.

      When he first came up, his slider was very mediocre and only really used as a get me over change of pace. Now it seems like a weapon. I wonder if he went to school with Professor Bradish for that.

      Yeah, kinda why I asked the question. That seems real lofty for a comparison.

      Alex Pham 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      After a really disappointing April that saw his ERA balloon to 7.78, Alex Pham has found his bearings in May, allowing 3 ER in 14.1 IP, allowing 8 hits and 4 walks while striking out 17.   Yesterday Pham allowed a run on 2 hits and a walk in 4.2 innings, striking out 7.   53 of 72 pitches were strikes.  The sole run charged to Pham scored when reliever Kyle Virbitsky allowed a 2-out double to the first batter he faced after relieving Pham in the fifth.    Due to the poor start, Pham’s ERA still rests at an unimpressive 5.29, but he’s definitely been headed in the right direction.  Also, he’s struck out 40 batters in 34 innings.

      Weather today?

      I can’t emphasize enough how stupid that rain delay was.  No rain at all for 45 minutes, then two hours of light mist, the kind that teams play through all the time.  I was standing near the kids play area during most of the delay and believe me, that rain didn’t deter any kids from using the playground equipment for two hours. Then, 15 minutes before the game is going to start, the grounds crew is watering the infield.  What? The game itself was not worth the wait, needless to say.   But what annoys me most is the complete lack of communication during these delays.  How about letting the fans who are there know what the thinking is about how long the delay will be?  How about an update every 30 minutes or so.   Nope, nothing.   Just a generic message on the scoreboard saying that the start of the game will be delayed to to the “threat” of inclement weather.   My phone was showing .05” of rain expected in the next six hours.  Some threat! On the bright side, the team did announce that ticket holders would be given vouchers that could be used for a Monday - Thursday game.  That was the least they could do.

      19,286 for that rain-delayed mess of a game.  I’d say about 2/3 of those stuck through the 3 hour delay and were in their seats at game time.
