It's on SEC Network and I Was thinking... how in the hell did we come back from being down 19 then 12 then 7 in Overtime?
 
I was fortunate enough to be in the Georgia Dome for that one...one of the best college basketball atmospheres I've ever been a part of.
Roughly 30,000 there...seemed to be about 55% blue & 45% red.

Never seen the replay but still remember my thought after the game being that it was Antoine Walkers coming out party. Remember Pitino giving the ball to him at top of key & clearing out for him in several late possessions. In those years, we got accustomed to a "run" that would invariably come most games, and we had ours after being down big in this one.
I remember Rick looking up to the crowd after the game with his hands on his head as if he couldn't believe it either. And I also remember looking up & all those 13,000-14000 Razorback fans who had been yelling "woo pig...sooey," & "beam it up Scotty!" for 2 hours had vanished just minutes after the final horn as if they'd been sucked right out of the dome.
And finally, I remember everyone, on the way to the car & at the rest stops on way home, basically saying "unbelievable" over & over.
An unforgettable game for sure.

Definitely one of the best rides back from Atlanta.
 
I remember jumping five feet off the floor when Epps clinched it with those free throws. I also remember thinking Rhodes would never be the same again after he missed his at the end of regulation. He wasn't.
