The Hall erased a 20+point deficit.

Don't look it up just take a guess on the year.

I'll eventually provide the details when the correct year is posted.
 
Against Rider in Trenton? 1998/99?
That was gonna be my guess. We played them at Sovereign Bank Arena in Orr's first year. I don't know that we ever actually got down by 20, maybe. Rider had a stud on their team - the name escapes me. I keep thinking Jason thompson but he was much later.
 
monmouth was the only one I remember, first game at the Pru Center, went to OT. so that's my guess
 
Either JMU or Bobby Mo. I'll guess JMU.

I was at those games against Navy/UVA at the Palestra, and then went to Jadwin for the Princeton game ( I have vivid memories of Gonzo cussing out our fans behind the bench at the game, or something to that effect).

Thought we were on to something after that tourney win in Philly- Dave Leitao was the Virginia coach at the time, I believe. Turned out to be fools gold as usual.
 
I think it was against St. John's. Someone on our team (Gause?) put the ball in the wrong basket, which was the low point, but it also started the incredible comeback.
 
Whoops, didn't see the answer there. I thought the SJU game was the year before, anyway - 2006? I am pretty sure we were down 20, though it could've been 19.
 
Those Gonzo teams were funny. Scored points in droves but never played a lick of defense. The one play we always ran where Hazell basically ran a loop around the entire perimeter was an all-timer. The guy guarding him had to go through like 6 screens.

I never once felt out of a game with those Gonzo teams... But I also never once felt that a lead was safe. LOL.

Exactly. Crazy chaotic basketball. Sometimes awesome, sometimes maddening. Probably better off playing all ranked teams haha.
