Now that the full list has been released, what do you think? Are there moments you wish had been on the list? Moments you think have no place on this countdown?
A princetonbasketball.com reader made a great suggestion, which has already been referenced in a subsequent TigerBlog post.
I'll add one more to the list from ten years ago:

Minnesota vs. Northwestern - 2:00 pm ET - Big Ten Network
Georgetown (12-4) fell 76-67 at Duke. Dad, if you're reading this, here's Exhibit A of why I don't want you yelling at officials from behind the bench!
St. Bonaventure outscored Richmond (9-8) 11-0 over the final three minutes of their 71-67 victory over the Spiders.

Good news? Princeton recruit Mack Darrow scored 22 points and grabbed 9 rebounds for Barrington. Bad news? The rest of his team scored a total of 17 in a 53-39 loss to Conant in the High School Hoops Showdown.
Around the Ivy League: Penn (4-8) became the latest Ancient 8 team to beat still-winless NJIT, sending the Highlanders to their 51st straight loss, 59-40. Dartmouth (2-13) fell for the eighth straight time, 68-59 to New Hampshire. Cornell (11-6 / 1-0) began the defense of its conference crown with a 71-59 win at Columbia (5-10 / 0-1).
"Unfortunately, success tends to make guys let up," said Mercer County Community College head coach Howie Levy.
"It happened in the Northwestern game [when the Wildcats could not hold a double digit halftime lead versus Purdue]. It happened in [Oregon State's] game against Washington State," added Levy. "You get a big lead and you forget to do the things that got you the big lead."
The same story played out for Mercer on Saturday afternoon, as Manor climbed out of an early 26-9 hole and pulled themselves up from a 43-30 deficit with under 15 minutes to play to pass and fend off the Vikings.
The newest members of the Garden State Athletic Conference's Region XIX ended Mercer's four game winning streak with the 56-52 win and evened the Vikings' record at 8-8.
"The big message that I send to these guys is that every basketball game is decided by a handful of possessions," Levy stated after his team's loss.
"It turned from a game played our way to a game played their way. Our offense doesn't work when we don't cut hard and our guys aren't good enough to play without it." The hard work on defense to come over screens as Mercer built their advantage and the attention to assistant coach Roger Gordon's scouting report that limited the touches of the Blue Jays' sharpshooters came undone midway through the second half.
Back-to-back threes by Stefan Thompson, who had been shut out up to this point, gave Manor their first lead, 47-46 with six minutes to go. "They have shooters that just catch the ball and shoot it. All you have to do is not let them get any shots off, just being attentive. They got two," said Levy of this stretch. "A three point shooter can have a great game and have the ball in his hands for four seconds. You can make three threes, catch and shoot, and he had a great game."
Despite the setback, Mercer has made significant strides since the last time I saw them in action in mid-November. "I think they're starting to enjoy to play this way," Levy said of his team, "but when things are tough they haven't been doing it long enough to not revert to what they did previously."

princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers, Fairfield Stags and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world.
