It was the first sellout game at The Garden that I was in attendance for all year, and the game lives up to all the hype. Two top 10 college team facing off in the world's greatest arena. It appearing that Pitt lost all hope of keeping the game close in the first half, but they came out ready to play in the second half and forced the game into overtime. DeJuan Blair is a beast of a freshman, putting up 15 points and 20 boards. However, Pitt would not have won the game if it were not for Lavance Fields, who hit the game winning 3 with seconds left in the game. Another shot that brought the crowd to their feet was DeMarcus Nelson's reverse lay-up, after getting hit by Blair. This game was filled with emotion and Duke fans had to leave the stadium sobbing and with their first loss of the season. Definitely the best game I have seen all year and the best time I have had. For entertainment purposes look how stupid Tony Kornheiser looks now.
