Anyone know of a digital copy of this online somewhere? I thought it was on YouTube but I cannot find it. I have a friend asking. I have it on VHS and DVD, but not digitally.

I love watching the end of that game. Have probably seen it 30 times. I always forget the missed FT by Maxwell and remember the good stuff.

Thanks, Mike!

I always forgot how much time was left when Freeman went rogue. 4.3 is an eternity.

Wow, that is an eternity.

I was at the Siena-UMass game back in 1991. I can't remember if UMass had 1.8 seconds or 2.8 seconds for Barbee nailing that 3.

I have their next meet-up with Siena, the home opener 91-92 on youtube for you to watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXG-L_AwCaI

Thanks, I look forward to checking that Siena-UMass game out, I've never seen it before.


BTW, This article says there were 2.3 seconds left for Barbee to put up that 3.

Love the Coach Cal quote at the end.

Now, Albany and Calipari had been a thing before 1995. In 1991, the Minutemen beat Siena 82-80 in overtime, advancing to the NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden. That game was memorable because the late Bob Lawson, a longtime television reporter at WTEN and the public address announcer for the Saints, had made an announcement late in the game regarding fan buses to the Garden.

There were 2.3 seconds on the clock that night in 1991, and the announcement came during a timeout called before Tony Barbee hit a game-tying 3-point shot to send the game into overtime at 80-all. The only points in overtime were scored by UMass’ Jim McCoy.


“Our team did not hear it,” Calipari said after the Siena game, “and I didn’t tell them. I don’t think it was a big deal. If it was at our building, our people would have been doing the same thing.

“And I probably would have smacked somebody.”

Clip of that shot starts the video of my game. You will enjoy
