Absolutely unbelievable. Then when Chalmers hit that shot the whole place went (as well of course all of Lawrence) crazy. People going out on their balconies screaming stuff like "FIVE MORE MINUTES THIS IS OURS!" The amount of energy at that point could've moved mountains no joke. I knew the title was ours at that point. I didn't sit down the whole game. When the clock hit zero we all jumped up cheering and hugging. We all ran outside along with the others at the complex. Shortly after, we headed to Mass to join in on the madness. I'll never forget it. I didn't sleep that night. What a feeling.

****in-a, man. My friends and I watched it at my roommate's and mine apartment. That night is one of the few really, really vivid memories of my life. We did the same thing with the balcony and everything (including throwing beer bottles and chairs down from it). I remember when Mario hit that three, we were all just hugging each other like crazy, toppling over onto the floor. Eventually, I couldn't contain myself and ran out in the hallway just banging on walls like a complete idiot.
After we won, we headed down to Mass street and it was just so nuts. You could literally feel the energy. It was like someone took pure happiness and just sprayed that shit all over the place. The crowd was so dense, people had drums going, dudes were climbing lightpoles and shit. Some guy climbed the super tall flagpole right outside that big ass US Bank on 9th and Mass (and stayed there forever, lol). My buddies lifted me up and I crowd surfed like half a block.
Goddamn, that was just an amazing night, full of drunken happiness. I lost my voice that night and couldn't speak at all till Thursday and then could only whisper for the next few days thereafter.
