awesome

tThanks TCF, you're almost as clutch as Kemba now!

 

[Inyatkin]

The slo-mo reaction shot of Bob Bender watching Hamilton's shot go in is one of the greatest I've ever seen.
Either way, I could watch that shot all day.

 

[OkaForPrez]

At what point do we have enough content to make the ultimate uconn highlight with plays over the last 25 years. I'm lookin @Marat

Great post. I hope they add more full games to the NCAA online Vault in the future. Would be a great to see full games from even the early rounds.

Two things watching this again -- One, Jake takes his shot and then hangs out a the three-point line the rest of the play while the guards are tipping the rebounds. Two, El-Amin goes to jump on Hamilton as the buzzer goes off, Hamilton is lying on his back and kicks his legs and sends Khalid flying. Awesome.

watching the highlighs of the Iowa game, I forgot all about how many junk defenses Davis threw at them that game, presses, zones, box and 1s, yeesh, that game was a nightmare on the nerves.

Thanks for all of these. I'm now "sick" at work.

MAN, STANLEY was BEAST in that 2009 run, I forgot how close we were from making a serious comeback.

If it wasn't a home game for Michigan State, we would have had their a$$e$.

Out of the 94,95, 2006, and 09 teams, I wanted that 09 team to win it the most. They were a good team who had a lot of heart. AJ, Stanley, Thabeet, Adrien, and Kemba, they deserved a chance to NC in the final, which would have been an EPIC game

Yeah, that putback slam should've changed the game after pulling within 3. But Summers just went up the court and got the and-1.

With Dyson, that 2009 team was one of the most complete teams Calhoun ever put together. That was a great run to the final 4 considering we lost a starter. What was fun about that team, is you couldnt press them. Louisville's zone and press was completely dismantled that year. Missouri was a great fast break team and we beat them at at their own game.

We went into Lousiville that year and beat them by 17 without hitting a single 3. That's insane.

Poor Matt Howard. It was like he had never seen a real defense before. Or maybe a basketball.

I hate to be greedy after you post all these great videos.. HOWEVER, is there any chance you have the 2011 BET run?

Yes, lol. Those will be up eventually.

 

[UConnSwag11]

just wanted to add this

 

[CTBasketball]

tcf, you don't happen to have UConn/WVU in the 2012 BET do you? Specifically the end, where Shabazz took over.

I wish, but unfortunately, I do not. Have wanted to see that game for a while now.

Yeah me too I can't find it anywhere. I remember Bazz getting 2 steals and layups on two consecutive possessions and the Garden went nuts. Then JLamb hit a huge 3 in OT.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

god i would do anything to have a leaper like stix on this current team. we could REALLY use a guy like him right now

 

[dogfan96]

Today's Dook loss made me feel like reliving the 2004 Final Four.. any chance they'll bring back those road jerseys (blue uniforms w/ "Connecticut" across the front) or have they made a conscious effort to put UConn on everything?

 

[J187Money]

One of the Washington players from the 98 team worked at the W hotel in Westwood where I stayed a lot for work. Every time I showed up in my UCONN gear he just shook his head. He said that was (understandably) the toughest loss he ever had on the court.

High definition was sick back then. I can't believe cable bills have increased with the limited progress that's been made.
