Donyell 360- way back machine

[TerryBoyz]

A little biased but I thought Donyell’s dunk was better!
Btw, god bless the internet!

 

[Austin316]

His facial expression was great

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Hold on . . . not sure what I just watched. Was that a UConn big man dunking with authority while be contested. Oh how those were the good old dqys.

 

[Dove]

Oh man...I can still remember that live. That was awesome!!!

 

[TerryBoyz]

If memory serves, donyell was asked by the press after the game
“what do you call that dunk?”
Before Donyell could reply JC says
“It’s called you better make it dunk!”

I remember watching that live also, Aside from the buzzer beaters, it's one of half dozen plays I will always remember. A few others are Scott Burrell jumping over a player and somehow stealing the ball from him. Caron Butler chasing down a loose ball near half court, and as he leapt off the court just trying to save the ball and throwing a perfect behind the back pass almost all the way to basket, hitting a player in stride for a layup.

What’s even better is the sound from the crowd wow it’s been a while huh? Good ol days....reaction by Ray Ray following him and seeing Scotty Burrell in street clothes in the stands, very cool video.

I was a Varsity Cheerleader on the men's squad from 92 to 95 and I was there for that game. The atmosphere and energy back then couldn't be matched. The good old times..

 

[jibsey]

Can they get me another Donyell?

 

[Tommyboy]

Best dunk I ever saw in person. We were in the back row of the student section. Was always packed and we showed up late (15 before tip).

 

[Poe]

Donyell was a beast in college, very fun watch.

 

[Spaceman213J]

He was a solid pro, too.
Does anyone else remember one the papers putting an insert with a picture of his hand, real size. It was huge.
One of the most important if not the most important recruit that Calhoun landed. It was a nice class, but he made UConn a program every recruit would consider.

 

[Adios]

Back then, it was near impossible to get a ticket to Gampel as a student.

 

[Migs]

I was at that game in the student section while still in high school.

I remember that old Big East Magazine had a blurb on him and his nickname was The Reading Reed.

 

[Vuce]

I . A few others are Scott Burrell jumping over a player and somehow stealing the ball from him.

That was against Wake Forest at the old HCC and I think the player was Rodney Rogers who was built like a truck. That was a ridiculously athletic play

We are so far removed from where that program was at that moment. Saddens me. I think even if we get back to the level where we are a top 10 team and challenge for `1 seeds and final fours it'll ever be like that again. That was before all the titles and we were still the underdog and the dominance was something so new and special. I remember that season and thinking that might be the year.

I wouldn't trade the last 19 years for anything but, man, 90s UConn basketball was fun as hell.

Every game mattered. Huge win after huge win. Rosters filled with phenomenal players.
