It isn't by far the first one that I went to, but the first one that I really remember was freshman year in college (2001-2002) being at the Pavilion when Nova knocked off a ranked UCLA team. That was my first big win as a part of a student section, and was a blast. My parents saw me on TV (they were at Nova in '71 when they played UCLA in the finals), and then we got to rush the court.

First St. John's game was the 2002 NCAA first round 8/9 match up with Wisconsin in DC. We got blown out. Though the next year I went to the semi's and finals of the NIT and saw us beat Bobby Knight and his Texas Tech squad followed by a championship win over the Hoyas. Got to storm the court at MSG. Amazing stuff!
