• 2017 - Bradley Center - MU beats #1 Villanova

• 1995 - Arena - MU beats USF in OT to go to NIT Final Four
• 1981 - Arena - MU beats #5 Notre Dame on 1/2 court shot at buzzer by Doc Rivers

Now there might be more, but MU has not exactly had a lot of court storming.

2002. 11am sold out game. #4 Cincinnati. I remember the image with Wade with the American flag. Later that afternoon, the Bucks played the 76ers on NBC for a 4:30pm game. Another sold out crowd.

2004 MU beat Louisville on the Mason shot and a foul!

2002 Cincinnati was on par with Tuesday night.

Pomeroy says that was 2003. We didn't play our last conference game against Cincy in 2002 and we finished 2nd that year.

It was both. We stormed for #4 Cincy in 2002 when they were 20-1 and had won 20 straight games as well as pretty much every CUSA title ever, then we stormed in 2003 when we beat an unranked Bearcat team on the final day to clinch the title. Joe McCann referenced both of them in this article:

EDIT: And I'd agree with panther, Villanova was on par with 2002 Cincy. Similarly, it was an announcement of the program being back, of Marquette being legit,

Who is a Pomeroy? :cool:

2001-2002 season 11am sold out game. #4 Cincinnati. I remember the image with Wade with the American flag. Later that afternoon, the Bucks played the 76ers on NBC for a 4:30pm game. That was the year after the Game 7 ECF. Another sold out crowd.

2002-2003 Final Four Season was Senior Day to win Conf. USA when MU beat UC.
