I was at that game. When I read this tread that game immediately came to mind. Up until last night that game was the best I had ever seen ODU.After last night's game the Villanova game drops to number 2. It does not get any better than last night. See you in NYC!!!!!!!!!!!

Great game by Trey, but Petey's 35 points against Villanova in the first round of the 95 NCAAT was the best ODU performance.

Allow me to frame the picture for you. Petey got fouled in the corner on a three point attempt when we were down three with just seconds to go in the game. He went to the line and hit all three foul shots. Then at the end of the third overtime, he blocked a shot (nearly pinned it on the backboard) and hustled down the court to receive a pass from Dunlap for a breakaway layup and an "and 1" to seal the victory. To block a shot at the basket and be the lead guy on a fast break is almost impossible. This was on St. Patrick's Day, a Friday night, and 98% of the country were receiving the end of the game since the other games already ended and the second games of the night had not started yet.

yea i was there an amazing performance and the best thing is 20 years later we are still talking about Petey and that Villanova is still feeling the effects of that loss......20 years from now we will be talking about the shot Trey hit to send the monarchs to MSG....there will be many more in between like Billy Mann's shot heard around the world was awesome too and that was 34 years ago

I was at the game also and have to vote for Petey as best performance, for all the reasons you mentioned. I still go back and watch it now and then. Trey's shot was dramatic and clutch, but to keep us going to three overtimes to finally overcome a more talented team in the Big Dance was tremendous.
