Jumped on University of New Hampshire 32-0 before they scored a point. Probably in the 80's.
Trust me. I'm aware. I was a UConn student in the mid 2000s. And we most certainly called Cuse our main rival, but all I kept hearing when I went there for a UConn/Cuse game my Sr. year was how they all hated Georgetown and didn't care about us.
Unfortunately I think we may have only beaten Louisville once more since then (2011 BET Final) unless I'm forgetting something.Man, great question, one answer sticks out for me more than ANY OTHER
2009 Louisville, on the road, BIG MONDAY, Louisville a damn good team, ranked #5. The game was over the moment the ball was thrown into the air.
As I get older, I'm more disappointed that 2009 didn't get a ring over the 2006 team. That 2009 team was full of HEART, AJ, Hasheem, Stanley, and my fav., the beast Adrien.
Another great one, even the score looked closer, it was a tip off beat down, 2006 at Syracuse
Not really rivals in either case but two games featuring the #32.

Also partial to the 32 point thumping we put on the University North Carolina is their only visit to Gampel.
I was at this game, alhough wasn't it in spring 2002? Maybe i'm mixing seasons up. It was a solid 50% Uconn fans in Conte Forum that day, and Big Red was leading Uconn chears throughout. I almost felt bad for Troy Bell, as I think it was his senior day.
I'll always consider Syracuse, Rutgers and Boston College as our rivals
We had a home and series with Virgina in the mid-90's - we beat them something like 77-36 at their place and then 76-46 in Connecticut a couple of seasons later.
I think about that a lot as well but at least the 2009 team has a Final Four banner to show for their great season. I know how disappointed everyone was with the way we lost to MSU and what could have been if Dyson didn't get hurt, but at least that 09 team has something to show for itMan, great question, one answer sticks out for me more than ANY OTHER

March of '03, it would seem:
I was there, sitting about 5th row free throw line. Everywhere we walked their fans were yelling NIT in our faces. We rolled them, and I was celebrating every moment Okafor rejected their shots. I was being totally obnoxious in retaliation for their pregame trash talking.
"get it down low BC, bring it to the paint (Meka would reject another shot) all day baby, bring it all day BC"
we lost in the BET finals and then went on to lose to one seed Texas in Texas in the last minute
and BC WENT TO THE NIT, priceless
PS: I miss those days when we were the tougher team, when we imposed our will on our opponent, when the refs didn't trample us game after game after game
Instead, as the result of that blowout loss, they missed the NCAA tourney and Bell came up short for the scoring title. And for their first NIT game, they had to play on the road due to a scheduling conflict.
