Greatest Comeback of the Gardens Era. Sending off the original A-10 squad of Seniors. Realizing James Posey was a top-line Pro prospect. All in all a great game to send the boys to NYC.

Also made me wish Darnell had a chance to finish what he started with his boys Lenny, James and Gary. No knowing what that team of seniors could have accomplished.

I was there and it goes down as one of the best XU games IMO. It was a beautiful game to watch.

Great game - fantastic comeback! One of my all-time favorites in the Gardens.

This was the game where I had an extra ticket because my wife got sick at the last minute, and I started to give the ticket to a student. Someone in a suit said to me, "Hey, you can't do that! You're basically stealing money from Xavier University!" I said, "I can take anybody I want to see the game, and this is my friend - hey, what's your name?" "Brad" "This is my friend Brad, and he's coming with me!" =)

Great game. My friend and I were in HS and we snuck into the student section with our faces and bodies painted up. Glorious comeback and it kind of softened the blow of not being in the NCAA's that year...
