Yeah have to agree about the RU/PSU Atlantic 10 final being the best RACmosphere ever. Sustained intensity and mind numbing sound from 30 minutes BEFORE tipoff to the net cutting ceremony at the end.
I was in law school in 1991 so I missed UNLV and Missouri games.
The early 2000s game (2002?) against #1 UConn — a game we lost 64-63 or something, and the game where Jim Calhoun is famously quoted as saying it was the loudest arena he ever played in — is up there in the annals as well.

The UConn Game was in January 2004. UCONN 75 Rutgers 74. A sell out that night with Rutgers lead by Herve Lamizana, Marquis Webb and Sean Axani. UConn escaped with the W where a lot of people thought the referees (including some guy calls Tim Higgins) swallowed the whistle.
