yee boney yearlings of yard needs to get a brainz ons

only 50+ yr huskeez fans are qualified for such concepts

or maybe you would like to review archives of huskyville once in your lifetime

wes or corley going for 50+ markers with no 3 ballz rule was much more fun than a mere butler rising up too little too late to simply add to long list of elite 8 disappointments like puke in 64 & 90, ucla 95, tarheels 98, gmason 06, twerps 02, and devastating swt 16 setbacks of temple 56, rutgals 76, fl 94, ms tate 96, longhorns 03, dook 91, final 4 mi st 09 ad infinitum or 2nd rd losses by very good UCONN clubz that disappointed in 92 buckeyes, 2000 tn, 05 wolfpack, 08 s diego, 12 cyclones

huskeeez current biggest targets: jayhawks, bruins, tarheels, cardinals & lil mason needz serious mashingsmashing/from depths of archives dartmouth & holy cross (cousey daze) need retro retaliations for giving huskies great pain in pass

But still.... greatest UConn half ever.
For a game that was over 12 years ago, can you at least refresh our foggy memories with some numbers or something of what he did in that half? Honestly, just throwing out a statement with no video or stats to go with it doesn't bring any value to the board.

Caron had 26 of his 32 in the 2nd half, including three straight 3s to open the half. See, that wasn't so hard.

Talk about lousy seeding. UConn should have met MD in Final Four. Clearly they were two best teams. Championship game was played one week early on Sunday afternoon.

Definitely one of the greatest. Okafor's second half against Duke in '04 and Rashad's first half against Alabama in '04 were pretty special "one half" performances.

Ray Allen's 36 vs ucla in 95 tourney has to be considered in any conversation. He didn't score his first fg until 17 minutes into the first half. Dunks, 3s, off screens he was hitting. Billy packer during the game said Ray Allen a sophomore will be the best player in the country his senior year.

Ray Allen's 36 vs UCLA was better IMO. I would pair it a step below Ray, but a step above Kemba's 29 second half pts vs. Wichita State in Maui.

That was one of JC's best coaching jobs that year. We got blown out by St. Bonaventure 88-70 in December and it's almost like he wanted it to happen to teach them a lesson. Classic JC.

Kemba's second half against San Diego State deserves some mention. He scored something like 14 straight points for us at one point on his way to 36. Lamb did finish off the job when Kemba was gassed, so you could deduct points for that (although Caron and Ray's teams lost).

Wes B dropping 50 on Maine falls in some sort of honorable mention category. You have to account for the opponent and the stakes.

He was a man among boys. There is probably a Bazz game to add to this list. But Caron' could be the best.

Yes, it was awesome. Was a great game until Blake hit that half court 3.

Blake's biggest three was the one from the quarter. That was a back breaker.



Juan Dixon nailed a contested long one that really hurt at the time.

I was going to blame you for me not getting much done today, getting lost in your videos again. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . until I noticed Selvie playing.

So I'll blame him!
