Amazing UConn Facts From The Past

[Huskybass]

I recently read that Khalid El Amin shot 93.4 % from the line in 1999-2000 during Big East Play. Thats making 15 of every 16 free throws. Very noteworthy.

What are some other outstanding stats from UConn players? A few that come to mind are Donyell Marshall going 20 for 20 from the free throw line in a game and Kirk King once making 22 straight field goal attempts over the course of several games.

And yes, we all know that Denham Brown once scored 111 points in a game prior to arriving at UConn.

Keep em coming...

I believe it was Antric Klaiber who started his career like 0-20 or something like that. It was a bunch of garbage time minutes with an 0-1 or 0-2 but they started to add up to something horrific.

Best stat of all for me is 4-0 in championship games. An overall 8-1 FF record is pretty sweet too.

Opposing teams shot 26% against UConn in the 2011 Final 4.

 

[Wordbomar]

UConn shot 101-115 (87.8 percent) on free throws for the tournament during the 2014 title run, the best free throw percentage by a team in a single NCAA tournament (minimum three games).

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Those last two ^

Art Quimby ( my first UConn Hero)averaging almost 25 rebounds a game for the season is the one record that is so absurd no one will ever break it.
He actually averaged over 20 a game in each of his three years.

Starting in 1993-94 season and the twelve thereafter, UConn was a #1 or #2 seed in the NCAA tournament 9/13 years..

Tyler Olander 2 > Boeheim 1

 

[Palatine]

In the 1995 NCAAs UConn averaged 97.75 points a game.

I believe they are the only team in history to score over 90 points in every tournament game (100, 96, 99, 96) for a four game stretch.

92.4% during winning time (last 5 minutes & OT) during the tourney. 61 of 66.

Didn’t we lead the NCAA in blocks for 6 or 7 straight years spanning Okafor to Thabeet?

 

[JakeTheDog]

UConn, with Kemba, won 5 games in 5 consecutive days to take their seventh Big East Tournament title in 2011.

Lest we forget, that was in what is universally called the real Big East.

20+ ?? straight wins against Boston College

From 1999 - 2011, Tony Robertson was the only 4 year UConn player not to win a national title. I seem to remember that as being fact.

Interesting one for sure.

UConn led the nation in blocks per game from the 2001-02 through 2009-10 seasons.

This is definitely my favorite UConn fact. It's absolutely unbelievable when you think about it. Will never happen again that many years in a row.

 

[RoderickSpode]

From 1999 - 2011, Tony Robertson was the only 4 year UConn player not to win a national title. I seem to remember that as being fact.

There are a few others I can think of - Dyson, Edwards, Robinson, Adrien, Austrie. Still a pretty short list. And if you’re going through 2011, the time period can be extended to 2014 also. Just a small donut hole in the middle.

I did always feel bad for Tony — such an important player whose career was directly sandwiched by two titles.

 

[EROCK CONN]

Since 1990, Uconn is 52-17 in the NCAA tourney. I could be off by 1 or 2 but four titles in that timeframe takes up a lot of space in my mind.

Is it true that Denham Brown once scored 100 points in a high school basketball game ?
