With the 2010s coming to a close, it's time to look back at some of the best UConn moments over the past 10 years. I made an arbitrary rule not to include more than three games from any single season (shout-out to 2011 & 2014), so without further ado, here is the list:
10) 2013: UConn 66, Syracuse 58 - "They leaving the Big East with a bad taste of UConn in their mouth."
It's the final year of the Old Big East. Both teams will be heading to new conferences the following season. UConn is banned from postseason play. Sixth-ranked Syracuse is printing t-shirts about their season. But UConn gets the last laugh in the final conference matchup between the rivals.
9) 2012: UConn 73, Villanova 70 (OT) - "Napier... ONIONS!"
A highly competitive, back-and-forth overtime game being nationally televised on Big Monday. Villanova ties the game in OT with 5 seconds to go, but Shabazz pulls up from 35 feet to drain the game winner.
