Down goes Melo and the eventual national champs.

One of my greatest RAC memories! I was a freshman behind the band under the basket and tried to storm the court. Security rejected me bc no one followed lol. Ahhh the memories!

Stay tuned from more from the BK video archive!

Very happy to help RU share these great memories with everyone...they deserve another look!

It was my 4 year wedding anniversary and my beautiful bride agreed to go to the game with me in lieu of a fancy dinner. Yet another reason that I knew that I chose wisely. In the 25+ years as a season ticket holder, it is still one of my favorite RAC memories.

I was a soph in the student section for this game. Can't wait until Pike gets the Rac going like this again.

Gary Waters was the coach that year, wasn't he? Was that the year of the run to the NIT final?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Waters was indeed the coach, but this was the year before the NIT finals. The year of the NIT finals--2004--Herve hit a very similar 3 against a top 25 Providence team.

It was an unbelievable game to be at, but way too damn long ago! Let's hope Pike can return the RAC to glory.

I remember being at that game. I thought the student section bleachers were going to collapse below us. So good!

Is there any way to get a copy of this game in full? It was my favorite memory growing up

Wish we had an archive of games similar to the UConn site.

Almost was good was the return game at Cuse in March.

Kareem Wright could not miss anything in front of a crowd of 33,000 people. 20 point game for a guy that regularly scored 4-5. I think we held a 5 point lead with just a few minutes to play before Carmelo turned into Carmelo and we got our butts handed to us.

Thanks, now I've gone down the rabbit hole that is that UConn game at the RAC in 2004.

I was at the Dome for that one. At the time it was the largest crowd ever for an on campus game. Woulda coulda shoulda....We played well enough to win at times considering the game meant nothing for us

As was I before joining up with the team that summer. Such a fun place to see a game with so many people.
