Ed. Note: This is the part of our summer series that will look back at games from years past, including highlight packages. Not all of these games are classics in the traditional sense, but all of them feature terrific performances from Bluejay greats, and we think you’ll enjoy watching them as much as we did.
Coming off a 20-win campaign that earned them a spot in the NIT, snapping a streak of five straight NCAA Tournament appearances, the 2004-05 Bluejays were a team determined to get back to the big dance. And with a veteran backcourt featuring senior Tyler McKinney and juniors Nate Funk and Johnny Mathies, they were positioned to do just that.
