Off the top of my head I immediately think of 2:

UConn's 11-0 run in the Florida final four game that got them back in the game after being down 16-4


This was the first one that came to my mind. (Love Boatright's defense after he hits the 3.)

Ah......... the opening of the St. Johns game in 99 BET finals.

might be top of the heap. We pretty much emasuclated that team before the first TV time out.

Alley ooping fast breaking, dunking.

15-2 in the blink of an eye

I thought the first half of the 1999 Big East Tourney Final against St John's was the best half that team played all year.
First thing that came to my mind when I saw the thread title.

and St. Johns was a top 10 team.

We ran through them like a hot knife through butter.
Didn't we also do something similar to New Mexico in the second round of the NCAA?

Second one is UConn's 12-0 run to beat Duke in the Final Four



2004 was incredibly resilient.

I never felt out of that Duke game simply because a couple weeks before UConn was in pretty much the exact same position against Pitt in the BET finals and shut them down with a huge quick run.

we were down 11 with under 8 to play. And people forger Pitt, NOT US, was the 1 seed in that BET.

That run to start the game killed any hope Jarvis and SJU had before tip - it was over in a flash. That was the game that convinced me that UConn was going all the way, and awesome hearing chants of "We Want Duke" out of MSG onto the streets of NYC.

My favorite part of the 2004 Duke game was Rashad repeating "Don't worry about it." at the free throw line. Go to 6:56.


That Reddick drive is the last time Duke didn’t get a call in that situation.

As has already been mentioned, my top 3:
1. 12-0 run to go up 79-75 on Duke before they hit a meaningless 3 to end the game.
2. 11-0 run on Florida to get back into the game by the midway point of the first half.
3. Uconn falls behind 34-9 to Umass with 18 minutes left in the game, proceeds to go on a 50-14 run to end the game.

OTHER GAMES
4. Uconn finished the game on a 12-0 run to beat Gtown 75-74 in 1996
5. 19-3 run that helped Uconn to beat Cuse 69-64 in 1998.
6. Uconn had a 15-1 run vs st. johns in 2013 to go up 53-51 but they lost that one, sadly.
7. There was a nice run, I think in 1998, where Uconn overcame a 13 point deficit vs Pitt.

Okafor's FT's at the end were when my daughter was days old and I was rubbing her head for good luck. Thus, the Mojo Baby was born.


and then you had to bring that idiot Jason around and ruin us the next two tournments.
