Super, I was at the Meadowlands game, and it was probably Rory Grimes worst game of his Iona career. Steve Burtt had a great game. I'll admit that after the game, I never expected UVA to reach the Final Four. Me too! Rory made an incredibly athletic move in the waning seconds, dribbling through the entire UVA team and got fouled. Bad ending! Daily News back page photo had Olden Polynice hugging Troy Truesdale--never made All Hallows connection. Me 3, we don’t go 4 corners we win, Burtt was unstoppable. Hargraves 2 missed one an ones under 2 minutes, likely cost us the game.

It was heart breaking. Rory was 0-12 from the field. Listened on the radio.

Two of my favorite memeories - Troy's thunderous dunk in the opening couple of minutes to send a message; the Va. Cheerleaders/Band being suddenly silenced when Iona being down about seven all game closed the gap on the outside shooting of Burtt (yes outside shooting) and the place finally erupting revealing itself to be pro Iona.

I was there as well. Heartbreaker. I try not to think about that game and the other heartbreakers we had in the NCAA tourney. Polynice was an Iona recruit who Pat Kennedy was very close to landing. If Iona had become part of the relatively new Big East vs the relatively new MAAC, Iona would've landed him.

Northeastern was the first game; we were the nightcap. Both were intense games. Reggie Lewis really went off in that game. I believe the opponent was VCU, which won on a buzzer beater; I recall the shooter falling down after releasing the shot off an in-bound pass. Iona game was too disappointing for words. Of course they would reprise the performance the following year - nearly identical heartbreaking outcome.

Earlier, he did the same to Byron Scott and Doc Rivers.

Yep. I was present also. Took me a while to get over it. I believe Rory also missed a the front end of a one and one the previous year against Fordham in the MAAC Championship. If he hit's them both he puts the game out of reach. Of course we lost to a buzzer-beater. He was the defender on the buzzer-beater also. yea, took me a long time to get over it. Aww... Hell, I'm still not over it!

After watching the way Auburn lost in the last 8 seconds, I'll never bitch about an Iona heartbreaker.
Refs missing the obvious double-dribble cost them a Final Four game.
