34,616 of SU's biggest fans

The numbers still seem astounding.

IWithin the Carrier Dome, 34,616 fans simultaneously cheered, screamed and let their Orange spirit explode for two solid hours Saturday night as Syracuse ripped Villanova  95-77.

Fans watched for 40 minutes as players battled on Jim Boeheim's court-- 10 guys sweating, bumping and fighting for control of the ball and the most baskets.  Two bitter rivals tangling for the top position in the Big East and top seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament.

They would make history as the largest on-campus crowd ever assembled in NCAA basketball history.

From the press area, more than 100 members of the media -- most recognizably ESPN's Game Day crew -- were there to document the spectacle of the clash of Top 10 opponents.

And as shown above, one single camera, firing one frame every three minutes over the course of five and a half hours.
