Remembering January 21, 2008

By Johnny

The Hoyas have a big game coming up against Syracuse on Saturday at the Carrier Dome. The two teams met up already this year, and I thought it would be a good time to look back at that thrilling overtime victory.

Before the game, we talked with Jameson from CuseAdelphia.com, and he gave us the Inside Scoop on Syracuse. He didn’t give any hint of how close that game would turn out to be, but he’s been a loyal commenter on Hoya Hoops ever since, so you might want to check out his site in preparation for Saturday’s game.

You also can go back and check out the game page where there are links to the preview, the in-game thread, the box score, our recap, and some analysis.

In Mike’s analysis, he talked about Jessie Sapp coming up big at the end of regulation and in overtime. Looking back at our postgame poll, it was a two horse race for game MVP, but in the end, you the readers gave Jeremiah Rivers the edge as he earned 48% of the votes to just 38% for Jessie.

We also made a Rival Reel for the game, “Let It Snow“. It didn’t get shown at the Verizon Center, and it wasn’t as popular as some of the others we’ve done, but now might be a good time to take a second look at it in preparation for for this weekend’s contest or a first look at it if you missed it before.
