We all sat down at the dinner table for Easter when it was 54-39 - we could hear the crowd noise on the TV in the living room and Kevin Harlan talking so I went to go check the score and Cuse was up 64-58 - no one believed me when I got back to the table so everyone had to go see for themselves. Crazy comeback.
Kevin Harlan has made some exciting calls in both NFL and especially the NBA games as a color commentator. He can definitively do so for NCAA hoops games.
Still a little sour about that my bulldogs blowing that last game, but that comeback was impressive. This Syracuse team has a lot of heart and fight in them.
This may have been one of Jim Boeheim's best coaching years (maybe top 5) and a very underrated team, much like his team that went the championship game against Kentucky. I always try to watch this clip as Easter nears!
I remember watching this game on easter sunday and losing my mind when Richardson hit that 3. Probably my favorite moment as a Syracuse fan since I was to young to see the championship win
Easily the best back-to-back performance in the history of the program. I’m sure there are other examples, but these two games were outrageous. Both games played out almost identical to one another.
Go Orange and Ducks! have a ton of love for both. grew up in Oregon and graduated from Syracuse. was very sad about NCAA coming down on us but can't take away heart!
Loved it when T. Lydon lost his shoe, and kicked it away... then, MG freakin' picks it up -- while dribbling -- as if he wants to hand it off BACK to Lydon -- freakin' hilarious!! Helluva a game, and a prime example of why they're called cardiac 'cuse! SU certainly (and consistently) recruits lots of talent... looks like they're already well on their way to plenty of wins again year!
It’s sad that almost the whole team got drafted to the NBA but still this year Syracuse is in the NCAA tournament and they won to Arizona state and TCU and I’m from Syracuse and I go to almost every game when Syracuse plays at the dome
I couldn't even believe what I witnessed when this was happening live. Richardson's performance was one of the best best I've seen in a tournament game. The fact that this happened against Virginia, who usually had Cuse's number, made it even more improbable.
Wow did UVA choke on some orange peels. Malachi went ham, can't remember a game by a CUSE player in this big of a game too go crazy like that!! GO CUSE
Sports are a metaphor for life. When you're the underdog.....when you initially get beat down.....when It looks like there's no way.....KEEP FIGHTING!❤
1. this is the most painful loss in the Tony Bennet era, and most painful UVa loss since at least 1990. 2. we lost this game because we beat Iowa State's press so badly the game before that we fell in love with trying to be run and gun. Much like the UMBC loss (which was mostly about losing Hunter, but a little bit about panicking because things weren't going how we thought they would), we went away from our identity and trying to attack the press. It worked against Iowa State because they didn't have the long athletes that Syracuse had, but against Cuse, we played right into their trap. 3. this is the most painful loss in the Tony Bennet era, I still can't watch the last 4 minutes of that game.
6:57 Perrantes was WIDE open. He hits that guaranteed. Most heartbreaking loss in UVA history. Exponentially worse than UMBC because it was Syracuse of all teams.
Really good look for Hall at 6:57 of course, but look how open Perrantes was. All about that extra pass. lol I love watching peoples' reactions in key moments of games. Look at the Virginia cheerleader second from the bottom when Hall misses that shot. She's just like screaming at nothing in particular.
If you ever get into it with the fan of another college basketball team ask them if they have ever had the kind of games we have witnessed in the last 40+ years. They haven't.
One of the best comebacks in NCAA Cuse history
2nd best Cuse NCAA performance next to the 03 Championship .
ya think?

This still gives me chills to this day
Nice pun from that announcer when he said syracuse back from the dead on Easter Day. :)
+Dave Jones Kevin Harlan is one of the best!
Kevin Harlan has made some exciting calls in both NFL and especially the NBA games as a color commentator. He can definitively do so for NCAA hoops games.
not a pun but you're right it was a good call
haha ikr
a little late but Harlan caught some slack for that comment, i remember some outrage from the media lol, great call and even better game imo tho
If only Malachi Richardson had stayed his sophomore year 😩😩
So true. Buy when young players think they're ready for the NBA, ain't no stopping them.
I'm not even a Syracuse fan, but this is still one of my favorite March Madness memories of all time
"Richardson's gone mad!" LOL
My all time favorite
ITS ALL ABOUT HEART!!
+Victor Pico and the heart ain't red.....GO ORANGE!!!!!
That's one thing you can't coach and that's heart.enjoy the win tonight Orange get back to business it's not over yet.
It’s that time of year again!
Still a little sour about that my bulldogs blowing that last game, but that comeback was impressive. This Syracuse team has a lot of heart and fight in them.
true man, I've lived in Syracuse my whole life and I've (almost) never been disappointed
I'm UNC fan but Syracuse is a good team.
So what does being a UNC fan have to do with the comment. Yes, Syracuse was a good team that year.
@@erichall297 this is why I have NC winning this year
Eric Hall Hey Éric. It’s to say he’s not a Cuse fan and thus unbiased.
Bleugh
Eric Hall they played unc in the final four that year 😂
Love seeing buddy at 6:33 watching his dads team go to the final 4 and now that he’s doing so well for the team that he gets to lea sb his dads team.
No matter how this season ends, I'm proud of my orange, both girls and guys #bleedorange
Kevin Harlan never ceases to amaze me.
with his stupidity
well since kansas ended my bracket ill be pullin for cuse haha congrats to you guys on making the final four!
acc vs acc - that conference is stacked
Man the remainder of the tourney became the ACC conference tourney 2.0 with the winner plays Nova
Lol that year maybe...not anymore.
"back from the dead......on Easter Sunday"
Still my favorite madness quote
Who’s here in 2021? We about to make another RUN!
Saturday cant come soon enough... #cusebyamillion 🍊

Its on

Cavs bench-sitters shooting the imaginary arrows feel kind of silly now. Oops. Those images will live forever in Internet Land.
6:25 Greatest moment in Syracuse history since 2003
Don't even have to click the timestamp already know it's the malachi shot
That shot was one of the core memories of my childhood
I remember watching this game on easter sunday and losing my mind when Richardson hit that 3. Probably my favorite moment as a Syracuse fan since I was to young to see the championship win
BACK FROM THE DEAD! Go Orange! :D
...on Easter Sunday. Can't watch this video enough.
Leon du Feu is
Gotta wonder why the Cuse gets hit with NCAA sanctions while NC plays with their academic foolishness...
@Walt Schmidt false... Its because the ncaa sweats UNC it has nothing to do with coach k jim will eventually pass k when be retires
@@DreDay53 both are respected coaches.
Probably the best moment I’ve had as a sports fan the games against UVA and the Zags were just so awesome
Easily the best back-to-back performance in the history of the program. I’m sure there are other examples, but these two games were outrageous. Both games played out almost identical to one another.
Hands down the greatest comeback of all time in Syracuse basketball history!!! Let’s go 🍊
Malachi was going crazy in March Madness
Cinderella wears orange!
Peter Rodby no
“68-0 when leading by 10+ points at half under tony Bennett”.............hi #cuse
He was out coached.
just reminiscing during the coronavirus😭🤧

Future looks BRIGHT for Orange. GO Cuse!

Lol Richardson couldn't hold in the smile anymore
“Back from the dead on Easter Sunday!”
Well done. Lol
Go Orange and Ducks! have a ton of love for both. grew up in Oregon and graduated from Syracuse. was very sad about NCAA coming down on us but can't take away heart!
Appreciate these moments at a time like this. Far from the 315 these days, but still bleed Orange.
I love this Syracuse team. They were so talented to me
This game was tuff asl I remember watching it back then Syracuse best ncaa comeback game in history
@2:17 that virginia player got that smile wiped offa his face!!
Malachi should have stayed at least one more year
Coaching genius. Speeding it up in the last 10 minutes
WHAT A PERFORMANCE! COACHING MATTERS
Loved it when T. Lydon lost his shoe, and kicked it away... then, MG freakin' picks it up -- while dribbling -- as if he wants to hand it off BACK to Lydon -- freakin' hilarious!! Helluva a game, and a prime example of why they're called cardiac 'cuse!
SU certainly (and consistently) recruits lots of talent... looks like they're already well on their way to plenty of wins again year!
Have to watch this to feel some motivation for the coming up tournament
Same
If Malachi Richardson stayed in school for another year he would of been a good NBA Prospect.
It’s sad that almost the whole team got drafted to the NBA but still this year Syracuse is in the NCAA tournament and they won to Arizona state and TCU and I’m from Syracuse and I go to almost every game when Syracuse plays at the dome
and Mich State
Yep
Lets go beat Duke!!!
6:25 after Malachi Richardson hits that 3, is that Buddy Boehiem in the student section?
Big italian fan here since John Wallace's days screamin...go cuseeee babyyyyy.
2-3 ZONE IS A BEAST... TELL ROY WE COMING
tell the Syracuse brice is coming
+jacob ragsdale
CUSE has already booked return ticket for BRICE, in economy class.
Did brice do anything in final nothing. They lost in Finals.
I couldn't even believe what I witnessed when this was happening live. Richardson's performance was one of the best best I've seen in a tournament game. The fact that this happened against Virginia, who usually had Cuse's number, made it even more improbable.

Oh man, that was one of my favorite Easters ever!
I love watching this video it never gets old GO SU!!!!!!!!!!!🧡🧡🧡🍊🍊🍊
M Richardson is from my hometown . Congrats to him . Go Orange 🍊 .. The 🍊will be NC to play in the Championship Game
My future school!! Looking forward to watch the games!!!
Who else watched this to feel good because cuse didn't get in the tournament this year
Lydon and Richardson.. Man can those kids ball
02:17 after the game are you still doing that🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The meme was priceless...lol
One of my favorite parts just cause of the ending 🤣
This was a awsome moment for cuse fans
Who else here to cheer themselves up after their loss vs. Baylor? :(
Yup
i was rooting for Virginia to make the FF, I really thought they would beat SU...Bennett has done such a good job so far
Sports are a metaphor for life. When you're the underdog.....when you initially get beat down.....when It looks like there's no way.....KEEP FIGHTING!❤
Thanks so much for sharing! Listened to this game in the car. Don't worry...I wasn't driving:) GO CUSE!!!
Anyone else watching highlights to cope with the Boeheim loss?
yessir. so many great memories
LETS GOO SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS🔥🏀🍊
This was one of the best days of my life it was my 18th birthday and Easter and my hometown team went to the final 4 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Need the full game to this

second best Easter comeback in 2016 years lol. Guess whos no.1.

Probably one of the most exciting games I've ever watched after national championship game. Go Orange!
the best team ever in. Basketball 🏀 and go. Oregon

That shot at 2:14 doesn't follow laws of physics.
We’re about to do it again LFG CUSE!!!!
What makes this great for me is that Syracuse did it in Chicago.
Mali represented TCA my high school
That one still hurts and I'm not even a fan lol. I had UVA winning it all that year and I can still hear my bracket busting
If you ever get into it with the fan of another college basketball team ask them if they have ever had the kind of games we have witnessed in the last 40+ years. They haven't.
Cuse didn’t fit the Cinderella tag in this one. They just clicked at the right time when Boeheim returned from suspension
I miss that Syracuse team🥺😭😭🤧
This game literally made him a 1 round pick
Boy, how bad we could use Roberson or Lydon right now...
I'll take Malachi over both of them man lol wished he stayed
Being a Villanova fan, if Syracuse would've found a way to upset UNC in the final four, I would've been scared to face them in the championship game.
proud of these guys right here. #orangenation
I live in Syracuse
I'm going to miss basketball
Best day of my life
Buddy Boeheim at 6:34
If Jim Boeheim was healthy, this Syracuse team will be a higher seed. Maybe a 5 or 6. His presence was an ex factor for the tourney
Virginia is always choking under pressure
Cause is to good Villanova
They made the final 4 as a 10 seed but it doesn’t even feel like a Cinderella considering they are supposed to be a top tier team 😂
MALACHI
6:28
Don't tell me Cuse is Cinderella. They're been there before
