Best performance by an opposing player vs UConn?

[Travelman6]

I know this might be sacrilegious to some or even many here but I also think it's ok to respect opponents too. If you don't like the idea of this thread feel free to hit the back button.

In another thread I asked if an opposing player has ever performed as well vs UConn as Teddy Allen did. UConn is known for shutting down opposing stars but what other examples do you have of a someone having the game of their life vs UConn?

Didn’t a guy on St. Bonaventure torch is one year?

I recall an Elijah Something torching us one year long ago.

Darius Rice still gives me nightmares.

 

[Connpjc]

Jeremy Lin lit us up a while back.

Lindsey Hunter. 1993 NIT at Gampel

I recall a game around maybe 1995 or 1996 where Kerry Kittles had a blowup game against UConn at Gampel.

For an extended period of time it seemed like in every game UConn played, someone on the opposing was having a career game, win or loss. In many cases that same player didn't do squat the rest of the season. But I am sure fans of every team feel that way in regard to their own team.

Harvard's Jeremy Lin?

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

 

[Horatio]

The kid from Yale when they beat us a while ago. Is he in the portal???

KITTLES’ 37 TURN UCONN TO BITS

The bandwagon needed air bags. Just when the state of Connecticut had begun to enjoy the first No. 1 ranking in the history of its men’s basketball program, the Huskies fell hard Saturday. No…

Our last loss in the NCAA tournament.

I remember Montrezl Harrell cooking us in the 3 games vs. Louisville in 2014.

Peyton Siva, Harrell, all those Louisville guys. A complete torching.
But also, Darius Rice still gives me nightmares.

 

[Stew Crew]

A certain left-handed freshman from St. John's came off the bench to light us up for about 25 at the Hartford Civic Center in 1982. That was my first live UConn game.

 

[Kemba Time]

Back in 2020, some freshman for East Carolina went for 25, 6 and 5 against UConn. Tristen Newton, I think his name was, not sure what happened to him from there.

Teddy Allen…I have never seen someone shoot that well all game

 

[aburks41]

Teddy Allen in 2022 and Ryan Daly (St. Joes) in 2019 are the two most recent. I’d include Edey but we smoked Purdue so who cares.

I’m pretty sure that St. Joes loss was our last home non-conference loss too?

 

[husky99]

Troy bell of BC.
My memory is shaky but i think he always crushed that old BE game against uconn every year

edey also made his line go from really good to absurd after the game was all but over. He scored 17 after it was a 15+ point lead.

Teddy Allen…I have never seen someone shoot that well all game

He actually didn’t shoot that well. He was 10-24 and 4-7 from 3. What killed us was the rest of their team didn’t miss from 3 and they shot like 65% from 3 for the game while we shot like 30%. Our team just didn’t have the offensive firepower that year to compete with a team that got hot from 3.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Lindsey Hunter Killed us once in a 1993 home OT NIT loss. 39 points. i believe we had an incredible last minute comeback to get game to OT then lost.

Steve Novak - 2006

Along with basically anyone else who faced us in a conference opener

 

[phillionaire]

I remember Montrezl Harrell cooking us in the 3 games vs. Louisville in 2014.

I still have nightmares about those ferocious dunks he threw down on us

I hate teddy allen
