Matt Sylvester Ohio State

[AWDBOOSTEDTSI]

ILLINI 37-2 that year, still holds the most wins in NCAA history!!! I-L-L!!!!!

[Mrsteisag2]

i watched this!

[neilrtucker11]

wasnt this the season when illinois went undefeated until the last game of the regular season when ohio state beat them here?

[alexddie]

@neilrtucker11 yes

[cmbuvi92]

Gus Johnson makes this: "Sylvester for threeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....OHHHHH OHHHHH....UNBELIEVABLE!"

[stuntinisahabit2212]

2:25 dang. how long has sullinger been there? haha

[scoreboard24]

i remember watching that game! oh my goodness!

[FeArLeZzMoNtAgEs]

How the hell is Sullinger in this???

[nufan3303]

@FeArLeZzMoNtAgEs

J.J. Sullinger, Jared's older brother. Actually, JJ was the one who told Thad to recruit Jared when he was in like 7th or 8th grade.

[bucksno14]

I remember this game perfectly, I was at a bowling alley in Colmbus and the whole place erupted when Sylvestor hit that 3

[rgraham71504]

I was at this game and man its one of my best Ohio State memories to date. Great Game and win for the BUCKEYES!! That year was just the start of Thad Mattas dominance in the big10

[XxDeadyetxX]

I was at that game with my grandpa, i was in terrance level but i was still flipping out!

[cschnei08]

Rafferty and Gus called this game together??? Oh my God, I've got to hear more!!!

[phillysports626]

Gus Johnson is the reason i watched this video

[gmjssc]

Gus Johnson and exciting games seem made for each other.

[swoosh1300]

Illinois shouldn't have called timeout. Huge mistake by Weber. Should have pushed while the OSU players were celebrating

[killilea11]

@swoosh1300 he didnt, matta called timeout to set up the defense

[brujaha]

Matt Sylvester is a bitch

[illini09100]

ah this still hurts to watch

[SUNSNARE06]

HERES PAULLLL...AIR BALLLLL!! AND ITS OVER!!! OHIO STATE HAS SHOCKED THE NATION! Gus Johnson FTW! Also the name Luther Head is just funny

[ConradsOSU]

Go Bucks!

[tyroneharris]

What year was this?  I was at the game, but can't remember how long ago it was.

[skankuser]

2005

[ChiefIllwhiniWept]

I'm not even sure this was an upset, considering how overrated the dUI team was that year.

[clevcavsfanlbj23]

overrated? they went to the national championship and barely lost to an amazing north carolina team.

[youra6]

god fuss cheatam was just awful LOL

[KanabletheAnimal]

this game turned ohio state basketball around

[ChiefIllwhiniWept]

I think it was more about Thad Matta getting players for his system, but it was a great game!

[OwnagePlayer740]

In 04? Some douche named Jim O'Brien fucked our program over.

[wolfie0890]

I could watch this all day! lol... to bad we were on Probation that year. at least would been NIT bound and possibly bubble.

[kaiteebug1212]

GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!

[PuppyTN]

The audio from this game is on my iPod. Awesome.

"Sylvester for threeeee..... OHHHHH!"

[19770326]

This is some bullshit.

Fuck matt Sylvester

Fuck the Buckeyes

Fuck the entire state of Ohio

[othalwaysand4ever23]

you forgot one.

Fuck You!

Go Bucks!

[wolfie0890]

dang. arent we bitter now??

[drummy41]

ONIONS!!!

[drummy41]

Man, I LOVE this clip - it never gets old. Makes my nipples hard every time I watch it.  If it weren't for Gus Johnson's call, it wouldn't be as memorable. haha

Not to mention....some ONIONS!!!

[BillyBong05]

You get 3 thumbs down for bringing up the basketball series because Illinois sucks dick in every other sport, and you try to make Illinois look superior to Ohio State when in reality they don't make a scab on the asses of the Buckeyes.

[buckeyecrazy32]

i was at this game..amazing

[WrigleyField5]

Ohio State Sux. Go Illini!

[buckeyecrazy32]

ya ok

[tgheinrich]

Yeah!

[jamjohnson39]

ur watchin the wrong video buddy XD

[kaiteebug1212]

Dude Ohio kicked the Illinis buts in this game. GO BUCKS!

[TarHeeLfan4eva]

Remember this game, I said Illinois would lose, every1 thought I was crazy.

[nwallace05]

Blackjebus3000 has made the most retarded comment I've ever seen on youtube. Do you watch any form of college basketball? Every time a school pulls off a major upset like this, their students run the floor, not like it's just OSU. Probably just some bitter fan of a shit school that constantly loses to OSU in everything. Like an Illinois fan. Enjoy your fluke win in football (courtesy of officiating, can't even beat us straight up)

[buckeyecrazy32]

thank u

[timcarter451]

we'll see next year who wins it all when the buckeyes have Terelle Pryor

[kevin2fla]

Maybe I should bring up the the series record, 60-27-4 in favor of the Buckeyes soo all illinois fan's just please quit with the incredibly ignorant comments.

[tgheinrich]

Maybe we should talk about the all-time basketball series: 100-64 Illinois.

[BuckeyeBond]

Or maybe we could talk about how OSU is better at everything than Illinois.

[tgheinrich]

Obviously not basketball all-time.

[BuckeyeBond]

When was the last time Illinois was relevant in the national picture of a major sport? 2005?

[BlackJesusFTL]

Didn't they beat the Buckeyes in football?

[DAWS92892]

ohio state sucks dick

[papapete007]

Why is it okay for "kevin2fla" to bring up the all-time football series, but when I bring up how Illinois leads the all-time basketball series I get three "thumb-downs??" If you can talk about your superior football tradition I think Illinois can resort to basketball ... It's only fair.

[kevin2fla]

Ok you guys are soo stupid!! Every year there is a team that either goes undefeated or has a chance to in college football. This is a much bigger upset because hardly ever to teams go undefeated in basketball. Thas why this is bigger, and yeah you beat us one time but see Illinois will prolly not be much next year without Mendenhall and a program like Ohio State will always be there Illinois just had a couple good years.

[Bobaner]

great vid

[ohiostatebuckeye15]

i was there, and rushed the court. what an unbelievable game. still the best ohio state basketball game ive been to.

[killilea11]

it is definatly in the top 5 best ohio state games of any sport of all time

[blackjebus3000]

Only retards rush the court. Go join a fucking rec league if you wanna be on the fucking court. Dumb Ohio State students act like they had something to do with the win.

Go ride an elevator.

[killilea11]

shut up.jesus. you are the only one bitchin about people being happy and excited.get over it

[blackjebus3000]

Ohio State Elevator team

Ohio State Riot team

I killed Stephanie Hummer, too.

[rac8323]

You suck! OSU is the best team at all sports. Deal with it, loser.

[mynameisnick111]

bitter....

[dwilliams02]

Gus Johnson rocks.

[killilea11]

but they couldnt do it again

[killilea11]

the comment i made above me was put in the wrong spot. i was referring to sombody who said that was talking about how illinois beat ohio state in the horseshoe

[mynameisnick111]

Best game I have ever seen

[kdogg2413]

That sucked but Sweet Revenge for the ILLINI. 28-21.

[bucknut46]

two different sports there buddy

[kdogg2413]

What! No way!

[bucknut46]

if osu wins this year in basketball it wouldn't be any kind of revenge...just because the teams were both #1 when knocked off doesn't make the two sports related.

[kdogg2413]

You're making no sense. It's pretty obvious that basketball and football are two different sports. You ruined our perfect season and we ruined yours. I don't care if they're different sports

[BuckeyeBond]

Yeah but you can't say a football game in 2007 is revenge for a basketball game in 2005. Stupid.

[kdogg2413]

Yes I can and I did. It sure feels like revenge to me and the rest of the illini nation. I don't care what you think. Seems like you're just a sore loser or something.

[GMoneydizzle100]

Hey, all that matters is OSU is gonna win the BCS title game, and The Illini are gonna lose to USC in the sport that really matters

[kdogg2413]

In "the sport that really matters" Illinois beat ohio state.

[TRIZZLEBZIZZLE]

now i know what it was like for illinois, i loved that day storming the court and yelling at luther head

[wallinator21]

haha....great game today, got Juice?

[Jayrich20]

Why yes, we do. And he WHOOPED ON OHIO STATE!!!

Heh, payback can be sweet at times.

[mattdh12]

oh man i hated illinois that year for some reason, hated them even more when they later beat arizona. i remember seeing this, it made me so happy, especially because it was the last game of the season. even though this was a few years ago it still makes me happy and im not even a fan of ohio state. college basketball is the best.

[JZuck59]

Yeah that's not Billy Packer. It's actually Bill Raftery.

[TRIZZLEBZIZZLE]

i was there

[Xopher21]

First of all, what a gorgeous set play out of a time-out. Second of all, Billy Packer's "some onions" comment is proof that Gus Johnson just flat-out raises everybody else's games.

[buckeyelvr7]

go bucks!!

[letsgobuckeyes26]

I WAS THERE.

[MrOctober24]

How sweet it is.

[original0143]

they would have been dangerous in the tournament that year too bad o'brien was a douche

[CoryT9783]

Thank God for Matta...

[buckeyelvr7]

i love the buckeyes that game was awsome

[mynameisnick111]

I was there about 10 rows up mid-court. When we rushed the court we were standing right next to Thad Matta when he was getting interviewed.

[jjboggs43204]

Some onions! umhmm

[buckeyefan20012001]

Oden, Cook, and Conley were all at this game. The committed very shortly afterwards. This game truly started the lightening fast turnaround we've had under Coach Matta. It is only going to get better and better.

[drummy41]

ONIONS!!!! hahaha

[sportstackingrulz]

This is definetly the second best OSU game ever, other than the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. GO BUCKEYES!

[moewr4life81]

sylvester was an all american at my hs

[jwittenmyer]

This is the moment when Ohio State became a national power in basketball. Mark it down. Matt Sylvester will live forever in Buckeye lore. If you're out there, Matt, we love you!

[eastindyguy]

Senator, you obviously didn't watch the 2003 Fiesta Bowl when we won the National Championship. This was exciting, but it doesn't compare to the Fiesta Bowl.

[SenatorSweaterVest]

Absolutely unbelievable. That was the most excited I have ever been for any college football or basketball game. Ever.

[tilvz]

thank you!!! i've been waiting forever for this game to be on here!!
