haven't been to many games, so i would say 2012 holy cross. but i'm sure posters here have been to many great uconn games over the years.

It was at the Civic Center and about the 250th time in a row we beat the snot out of BC. Oh there was a pretty good G'Town game there as well at about the same time. ( post Ewing)

[UCweCONN]

Without question it's the '96 Big East Championship game. Ray vs Iverson, the comeback, Ray's game winner, the pandemonium.

Top 2 are:

2011 BET Final against 'Ville

2010 Texas at Gampel

Have been lucky enough to attend tons of great games, but these two stand up above the rest.

I have a best Uconn game for totally personal reasons. I went to the Uconn - Umass game the night before the Civic Center collapsed. My parents were newly divorced, my older brother who was supposed to go to the game was sick, and despite my mother's protests of bad weather I got to spend quality time with my Dad and watch a Uconn rout over Umass. My Dad's car got stuck driving home and we walked the last mile home. My mother never let me go anywhere after that.

Second favorite game is the Uconn at Stanford game. Totally a Duke atmosphere with the students at center court. I didn't think I was going to make it back to me seat after a bathroom break at half time wearing my Uconn sweatshirt.

I have only been to one Uconn game, but it was a good one, it was during the last championship season against Villanova at home. Kemba hit a shot with less then 10 seconds left...It was not a well played game, but it was well worth the drive from Bangor, Maine....It is magical to high five with people you have not idea who they are!

If Niels had drained his jumper after Omar's, and after stealing the inbounds play, yes, the roof would have blown clear off Gampel.

that was the greatest and most exciting game with one of the biggest letdowns...I could only imagine how that would have felt if it were in the Tournament

I was usually away from Connecticut in most of the good years so haven't seen enough in person - my fave was actually (and I hate to bring it up in lieu of our recent board invasion) the game Ollie beat Providence. Was living on the Cape that year and made the drive. Place was going nuts when PC took the lead after the sarcastic clapping tech and a 3, and the packs of UConn fans were in stunned silence. Then it quickly reversed. That was fun.

No particular angst towards PC here - just happened to be at the game and the wild ending made it memorable. Had I been at the Trop or one of the BET title games, I'd surely have another choice. Only NCAA games I've seen in person were beating Rider and GW with Donyell and neither was memorable.
