13th Anniversary of Cardiac Kemba

[UConNick]

Figure it would've been bad mojo to let this day go unacknowledged here! Take a moment today to watch that highlight (probably for the 600th time) and thank your lucky stars you haven't had to go through the last 13 years ankleless like Gary McGhee.

Still brings a smile.

JC's reaction is almost as priceless as Kemba's move and shot.

As soon as that switch on D happened, I knew I was watching something that could possibly be awesome.

Anyone else just randomly watch that clip from time to time?

 

[Mr. French]

13 years? Nah.

I watched that run with friends and swore if they won it all I would buy a dog and name it Kemba. Ended up buying Kemba and maya. Sadly Kemba passed two weeks ago. Only reason I can believe it has been 13 years.

"Got a mismatch..."

And then had to win against 2 additional ranked teams on Friday and Saturday.

My 4 year old dog is named Kemba as well

I was there - what a thrill!

This was the end of the Pittsburgh program. Kemba sent McGhee to the shadow realm

Kardiac Kemba, the best singular performance in NCAA history. 5 for 5 5 nights in a row at BET then running through the NCAAs. Still unreal

I am sorry for your loss. I love my pets.
Oddly enough, I was literally yesterday telling my wife that I know 3 people that have named their dog Kemba. One of those people got a 2nd dog and named it Shabazz. The UConn basketball love is real!

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Still gives me goosebumps

 

[SkyWalker2011]

If you want to feel like you were there, look no further.

 

[jayteeman]

Like dropping the microphone with a human body

Awesome. The husky dance was pretty funny too

this clip can be used to heal the sick

always makes me feel better instantly.

One of the best moments of an otherwise brutal first half of 2011, health wise, for me. What a shot. Is it safe to say, UConn fan or not, that's one of the most iconic basketball shots post 2000?
