Re: Nominations for most exciting game at The Shoe

Jon,

I think your description below fits both the UMass game and last year's
Marquette game equally well.

"Electric crowd start to finish".
"Excitement of opening up a huge lead, having them come back, but then pulling
it out over a top team was huge."
"Even during the loss of the lead, the crowd was crazy loud."

Sounds just like last years Marquette game doesn't it?

I was at both games, and both were great, but my vote went to the Marquette
game.

Here's hoping that Saturday's Marquette game comes close to matching last years
game.
