Can't do it. That's like picking your favorite child.

Anytime they beat ND.

Not saying it's "the Best" but this one comes to mind:

UConn Repays Stanford by Ending Long Streak
By JASON TURBOW DEC. 29, 2012

NO. 2 UCONN UPSETS NO. 1 STANFORD, 61-35
The Huskies snap No. 1 Stanford's nation-leading 82-game home unbeaten run.
Dec. 29, 2012

“Connecticut came in here on a mission,” Stanford Coach Tara VanDerveer said. “Mission accomplished.”

“That Connecticut team was the standard,” Ogwumike said after the game. “Now we’ve experienced the standard.”

****************************

A very long day for Chiney...

It's not every day when somebody else (other than us) is ranked #1 and we get to clinically dismantle them piece by piece ON THEIR HOME COURT, particularly when it's Tara and Stanford.

First Tennessee game in 94-95 season.

2013 UCONN @Maryland. KML & Morgan both hurt. Stefanie Dolson in foul trouble and Bria Hartley shooting 0 for 11 on 3pt attempts. What made the game sort of personal & special for me is that my Daughter had played AAU basketball with or against 3 of the starters for each team.

"Bird at the Buzzer" game vrs. Notre Dame for the Big East Championship.

I didn't see the national semifinal in 2002, except for parts of the 2nd half, but I would be a lot of people have that game high up on their list of quality wins.

HUSKIES STORM INTO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WITH 79-56 WIN OVER TENNESSEE

Wasn't this the game where PHS visited the UCONN locker room after the game to compliment their play?

March 29, 2002: UConn 79, Tennessee 56

Final Uconn Tennessee game in 1995.This is the most important game in their history and started this whole ball of wax called superiority over an entire sporting industry.There aren't a whole lot of situations like this in New England to root for at the collegiate level and i was in disbelief and like many others suddenly became more than just a casual fan of wcbb.

 

[Zanzman]

Tenn at gameplay MLK day 1995 hands down

 

[OldAlum]

The first Tenn game is iconic.
For sheer beauty and excitement, I thought of the 2015 SC game at Gampel. The game was a highlight reel for four players!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I don't know if it is the best game. As others have noted, how do you put a label of the best on one game with this tradition of ecellence? So, I'll go with my best single play when it mattered:

"Bird at the Buzzer" game vrs. Notre Dame for the Big East Championship.

I was at that game. Happy and sad, Shea went down in that game and then uconn found a way to win without shea and Svet who broke her foot against the Vols a couple of week earlier.

Wow, what a great clip. Almost hard to watch the memories it calls up are so strong.

The 2000 chanpionship game in Philly v. TN, when UConn ran a clinic on how to do a backdoor play. Was a great game, especially if you were in the arena.

Anytime they beat ND.

The game they beat them at Gampel when the roof leaked from melting snow.

 

[Kaizen]

Most recently,
UConn beat FSU 78 - 76, Napheesa had 28 and Chong had 16 (6-6) pts.

The Seminoles trailed 65-59, but had a chance to tie it with 13.7 seconds left when Brittany Brown was fouled on a 3-point attempt by Kia Nurse. She made the first two to get within 77-76, but missed the third. The Huskies could not secure the ball and FSU (1-1) retained possession when it went out of bounds.

Shakayla Thomas then drove the lane, but her shot was blocked Collier. Crystal Dangerfield made the first free throw, but missed the second. Imani Wright missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

+1
At halftime, with all the foul trouble, there was absolutely no way UConn is going to win this one!

Just to mention one that hasn't been mentioned yet: the 1995 regional final vs. Virginia. An incredibly close game to the very end. Possibly the loudest crowd I've heard at Gampel.

This would be my choice, though the outcome was not in doubt for much of the game. Sue, Swin, Svet, Shea were all healthy and played great, and Kelly blocked seven shots. Just surgical precision on offense. I believe this game elevated UConn to elite status, as Tennessee's equal.

2003 National semifinal game vs Texas. Closest game ever!

#2: 2003 NC game vs TN. Stayed in the arena (Georgia Dome) for an hour afterward, watching net cutting ceremony, etc. Sue, Swin, et al, were sitting in good seats. They stayed for the whole party too, holding up pre-printed newspapers with 3" headlines about UConn winning the NC.

These were games where the outcome was far from predetermined. Made seeing this live that much sweeter:

 

[augustaTC]

My first ever, almost by accident while channel surfing, final vs Tennessee in '95 and last year's vs South Carolina because it was such a special team and the only game I've seen in person.

 

[eebmg]

My favorite (where I was able to bring my niece) was the 98-38 devastation of MSU in the Bridgeport regional semifinals at Webster Bank Arena. I also like tho think that that was one of the key motivations for MSU turning into a realistic FF participant so quickly.

 

[Gabbyfan]

Jen's crossover dribble in the 95 championship game is where it started for me.

 

[chrissaran]

They throttled Chiney.
