Best wins of the decade

Thanks for posting. It's a great read and brought back so many memories. I recall being at the RAC for a few of those games listed.

I'm very grateful for where Pike has this team today and moving forward. What's just special is the excitement our basketball program has again.
 
I was at all the home game wins, some, although newsworthy, I hardly remember much about anymore

of the ones you mention, the Nova win would be the best.....

in fact, I would say that was the best finish we ever had at the RAC...... not comparing it to the PU
A10 final in total, just saying the finish against Nova was spectacular....

in fact, if you had written it into a movie, people would say that it was not
believable....
 
Is the decade really over? Next year?
You wonder what would have happened with Rice. Thought he was a pretty good coach.

We're going with the pop culture version of the decade, not the mathematical one
 
My top 5:
1. Nova
2. UF
3. SHU (2017)
4. SHU (2019)
5. Wiscy... this game was such a fluke, but loved every minute of it. When Kone hit that 3-pointer from the corner I knew it was our (K)night.

Great piece above by Dave and Aaron.

So hard to pick a Top 5 but I would have as follows:

1. Florida. It was a saturday night at the RAC and it was crazy given Rosario's return etc and whatta game. It was the Eli Carter show.
2. Nova. Incredible ending.
3. Wisconsin. No Kaminsky but who cares.
4. SHU 2017. Out of nowhere here we come.
5. SHU 2019.
 
For discussion

3/1/2018 Beat Indiana in B1GT to get to QF
11/28/18 Went to Miami on road and with defense shut them down
1/9/2019 beat OSU at home

I have a tough time including more than 1 or 2 random great games in the middle of failed coaching regimes.

Great win against Florida but then we follow up with a loss to USF and a blowout loss to WVU.

That's a good one! Unquestionably, RU's best win away from the RAC last decade.

Florida was not a Saturday night. It was the night before the Pinstripe Bowl - midweek.
