A loss to St Johns.

sigh

What, did Lou Carnesecca return to the sidelines and Chris Mullen to the court?

Yeah, me too. Probably my first ever favorite team. Always wanted them to take down Ewing and the Hoyas.

Yup
The "sweater" games between Lou and the hulking John Thompson.
Remember that crazy Michael Graham? Scary dude.
Those Big East days were so fun ... just battles.

It's what made ESPN special back in the day. It's all I would watch. College hoops, SportsCenter, more college hoops, some pool, America's Cup, then another college hoops game, and re-runs of SportsCenter.

Very talented and very very raw. He lost ground on the depth chart as the season progressed and decided to seek greener pastures. If the kid throws in the towel that easily, it's probably just as well.

Status: offline 		Man, would that Barn THUMP when "Sweet Georgia Brown" by Brother Bones would come on, as part of that phenomenal pre-game routine we had then. The place was electric, never have experienced a crowd or venue like it anywhere, since. For several years there, we were a basketball juggernaut & had a real national footprint.

Then Fred Taylor brought his Buckeyes to Williams and everything changed. I've read conflicting reports on exactly what precipitated the Corky Taylor knee to Luke Witte's groin. Wasn't there that night. Suffice it to say--no matter what precipitated it--that was a very dark night in the annals of MN sports. It's fair to say we've not yet fully recaptured that magic, and I'm not sure we ever really will.

Awful event that took a long time to recover from.
Once I clicked on the youtube video of the warmup I had to go onto the clips of that fateful night.
I remember feeling sick for a long time after that, being an impressionable little kid at the time. Hard to fathom for me at that time.
I loved those teams, and for them to do something like that really left a bad taste in my mouth.

Status: offline 		That Gopher pre-game warm up was just awesome to watch. The Barn has never rocked like that since.

That night against Ohio State was a terrible spectacle. There were allegations of Like Witte elbowing Kent Nix in the face when the teams went off the floor at half-time. The bottom line is that Corky Taylor put it over the top with one of the worst things I have ever seen in a college athletic event. Corky kneed Witte in the kiwis and Ron Behagen ran off the bench and started stomping on him. Just and embarrassment to the U and its fans.

And a 2nd half flop to lose at Purdue.

Another year, same basic faults. Too many bad shots, mental mistakes(like not blocking out). Last "big" bucket, Mo defends the wrong side of Hammonds, basic fundamental messup.

-8 in freethrows made too.

2nd half of the conference team. Maybe NCAA, but I'll be surprised. Not what Richie wants.
