Was that the most exciting NU men's hoops game ever or was it only the second most exciting?

A real poser! Think carefully!

I think last year's meant more, and the Tap-to-Pardon play meant even more, but this was probably the best start-to-finish game in NU hoops history.

I think I heard in Collins' press conference that after the 16:07 mark of the game, the lead for either team was NEVER larger than three until the free throws in the waning seconds of the overtime. Good lord.

You're right . Last year meant more. But this years was like a kind of gloating we as fans have never had.

This one in some ways was even more impressive. Better more complete Purdue team, we had a substantially different cast, and they likely had revenge on their mind and were not taking us lightly in any way

Ya mean that, you know.... maybe NU CAN have nice things?? Uh, I hope I didn't just jinx the rest of the season.

1/31 is gonna be tough. Will be a real test for us and a great prep for the Big Dance.

Yeah, I'm thinking that will be a very very angry arena for the boys.

Could Purdue regain its #1 ranking by then? Have to think it’s possible — even likely — considering they’re up against Arizona on 12/16. A win would put them back on track for #1.

Good trivia question. Has any one ever beaten the same team twice in one season with the losing team ranked #1 in both games?

I don’t know, but it seems possible. I’d look at Kentucky/Duke/NC.

Would seem unlikely that's happened, but what do I know?
