Day 25 – Favorite win of all-time
well, the championships, of course. but let’s just say those 4 games kind of share a totally different plane of their own. i have to go with 82-50 as my favorite. the energy in that building was unreal. and there was SO MUCH riding on that game - the rivalry, the ACC regular-season championship, the undefeated season in cameron, the seniors’ last chance to beat the heels at home, the emotion of senior night in general… the pressure would have crushed a lesser group of guys, i think. and believe me, there were nerves galore in cameron. the heels had been playing a little better toward the end of the season, and there were some eerie parallels to 2006. and then the game started, and the big three each hit a three-pointer, and before anyone quite knew what was happening, the rout was on. and then it was just a two-hour fiesta. LOL. amaaaaaazing night. i wouldn’t trade that memory for anything in the world.
honorable mention for favorite win goes to 1) the beatdown of texas in which JJ scored 41 points, 2) the 2009 win over wake forest in cameron and 3) the game against maryland in cameron in 2009 where we just destroyed them.
