Is this the greatest moment ever in SB Athletics?

Ive been following SB for about six or seven years. Most of my
fan interest has been basketball until this year, so my
knowledge of the history of SB sports isn't great. To state the
obvious - the baseball team is one win away from a trip to the
College World Series. The team right now is tied 1 game to 1
with national powerhouse LSU. Regardless of how the team does
tomorrow has the team achieved more than any other team in
Seawolves history? I know there was just a national track
champion. I don't want to downplay that, but to me it just
doesn't compare. Game 1 of the Super Regional is being called
the best college baseball game of the year. SB is getting
coverage and attention right now unlike anything I have ever
seen. The Joyner tip in over Albany got some nice play on ESPN
but what is happening right now is huge!

Without a doubt this has to be the crown jewel of our athetic
program. In the last week we have beaten national power
Miami,and then won three straight in the Regionals and now LSU
takes a hit. No other team we have can lay claim to that right
now. SBU baseball has established themselves as a rising
national power. Now if basketball can pull something like this
off and make the Sweet 16 we will have something!

We're already in the Sweet 16. The next would be the top 8 in
Omaha

I became a fan 3 years ago (when I was a sophomore in SBU). I
never felt so good and so proud of our athletic department as I
have felt the past week. It feels like we are really getting
somewhere. The hard work, the dedication, the investment, all
the support is paying off. The best of it all is that this sorta
came by surprise and at the end of the year (june) when there is
no other NCAA sport on TV to drown out our exposure. This is the
best time of the year for an NCAA run. I didn't expect this. I
expected us to compete but not defeat the LSUs of the world...
This amazing.
Our department is growing. Hopefully we can keep growing at the
same pace and have more national success. TOMORROW (GAME 3) WILL
BE A BIG DAY!
I'm sure this has to be the best moment in SBU history.

Redwyn check my post. I would love to see our basketball
program make a run like this to the Sweet 16. That would be
icing on the cake.

I have a feeling like Basketball will take much longer to get to
the Sweet 16 out of the america East. Baseball has been
traditionally one of better sports with lacrosse. Not the same
story with Bball.... Also, the single-elimination nature of the
NCAA tourney doesn't help either...
...You can lose 4 games in NCAA baseball and still win the
College World Series. Not the same story for in NCAA basketball

A few years back M soccer did advance to the NCAA 2nd round, i
think they defeated Yale.
But you guys know me, how can i leave out M lacrosse? A #4
ranking, a trip to the quarterfinals (which happened to be at
LaValle), took the #1 team (Virginia) to the wire, blew a 3 goal
lead and lost in the last minute. For a trip to the final four.
Also that team had 5 All Americans, including the best player
in the country. They all play pro now. Then a few months later
in February, #1 Virginia visited LaValle again, and SB blew
another lead, tied it with 3 seconds left, lost in OT on a
failed clear and open net. UVa wouldnt be denied!
I know, lacrosse isnt as national as baseball, football, or
bball, but come on its on Long Island!!!

CoB I agree we had a golden opportunity that day in front
of the home fans. A national championship run in any sport
would reallly be a major accomplishment for our athletic
department and SBU in general. They are hard to come by and the
competition is tough which makes them all that more impressive.
Soemhow as fan I think we will win one in the future.

You can't buy the kind of National exposure y'all are getting
right now.
Enjoy this run y'all are on.
Memories like these will last a lifetime.
Even if y'all become a baseball super power, you will ALWAYS
remember that first deep run.
