Great video, but I wish that highlight videos like this also included some defensive highlights. Every basketball fan knows that comebacks like this are dependent just as much on stops as they are on timely baskets and, as one of those fans, for me personally I get more hyped watching my team play great defense because it means that they still fully believe. Thanks for the upload, I just wish that I could find a video of the full game replay so I could also enjoy the excitement of the Orange getting so many crucial stops.
Six and a half years later, seeing the Syracuse press still causes flashbacks and nightmares for Virginia fans to this day. How do I know? Because I'm a Virginia fan, and this is the first time I've watched any highlights of that game since seeing it live. Have to agree with some comments below, though, that unless you show the defensive stops and steals that accompanied the comeback, you're not telling the whole story of what happened. When Syracuse turned on their full court press at around the 9:30 mark of the second half down 15, Virginia got badly sped up. They couldn't seem to get the ball inbounded or upcourt and worse, started taking rushed shots. The Orange forced turnover after turnover to fuel their comeback, and the normally careful and methodical Cavaliers just couldn't deal with the full court pressure.
i must say.. with all the heartache ive had with Syracuse (Big East Championship losses, 2 NCAA Finals losses, NIT Finals losses, Rhode Island and Navy losses, the Fab Melo and team bannings, and the Arkansas phantom time out) over the decades, im so happy there's a lot of recent good victories thats been comin as of late.. lol.. LETS GO ORAAANNGGE!!
I was at a restaurant in Florida at this time. I was like wow this is so so weird. Really UVA your letting a 10 seed go right by ya. Now there's only one #1 seed in the final 4 Witch is UNC.
"Richardson's gone mad" literally gives me chills every time and idk why
that and the "back from the dead on Easter Sunday" made the game feel so surreal and I am glad to have been able to watch it
I could watch 1:46-1:52 on repeat for the rest of my life.
i know right.
Ive watched this vid everyday since it was uploaded
Same here. Back from the dead on Easter Sunday. Good luck to Richardson in the NBA draft.
Yep. That shake he puts on Brogdon reminds me of Curry at Davidson.
Malachi was cold blooded

I have spent more time watching this video than I spent watching the game itself (and no, I did not miss a second of the game). GO ORANGE.
The game that sent Malachi packing for the NBA
Never. Give. Up.
held back some tears.
Once Syracuse picked up that tempo, Virginia had no answer.
Syracuse rises from the dead on Easter Sunday 2016!
I remember watching this game when I was younger the good ol days
Wow!

Craziest part of this is the sheer number of Cuse fans over VA fans. Game was in Chicago, that's a hike from both teams.
best cuse team in history

Next year could be really good.
It's okay Virginia. I think good things are on the horizon.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you play the games.
