Best performance by an opposing player vs UConn?

Elijah Allen, 1998. Thought for sure we were going down in a 2-15 game

This is the correct answer 43 points on 17
FG attempts is absolutely bonkers. IIRC it was a 1 point game under 5 min and Ricky got some key stops on Allen to pull away. Rip and KEA both scored 30 in that game as well. One of the crazier tournament games in UConn history.

The fat center from George Mason '06-
Ryan Gomes-
Pitt '08-'12-
When Villanova played with the 3 guard lineup '09- '12-

Painful memory but Darryl Wilson from Mississippi St. in the 96 NCAA tournament (Sweet 16 game at Rupp Arena) in Ray's junior season.

He was 7 for 11 from three.

Losing Ricky for the tournament cost us this game.

96 losing Ricky
09 losing Dyson

Maybe we have 8 at this point if both guys were in the tourney

Teddy Allen has to be top 3

I remember Preston Shumpert being a real jerk when we play Cuse back in the late 90s

Was this the guy that was waving and blowing kissed to his girlfriend in the stands?

Teddy Allen has to be top 3

Many of his shots were heaves or off balance, that seemed to swish.

Didn’t Jeremy Lin torch us for 30 +?

Oh I remember that, I was super suprised how athletic he was!

 

[knicksin7]

Ill never forget that game

Sort of surprised he never was a good 3 point shooter in the NBA
