One of the best college basketball games I ever saw was when Kentucky faced Robert Morris in the first round of the NIT with KY as a 1 seed and RMU as the 8 seed, but since Kentucky was holding NCAA games, the game had to be played at Robert Morris. RMU won a really close game against Kentucky. Every student in the old wooden bleachers had stormed the court within 5 seconds of the buzzer. Had that game been at Kentucky, it wouldn't have been the same kind of atmostphere.
