He gave us life when nothing was working. MVP

Game is over at halftime and they're not even attached to make a run in the 2nd half without him putting the Duke frontcourt in the torture rack.

The amount of joy that this team has brought me over the last 4 decades has been immeasurable. But there are very few moments that can top the moment they gave me today.

Pride. Heart. UCONN!!!

The amount of key plays that have come off a Silas deflection this year is unbelievable.

 

[brihman]

When they got Tarris out of the portal I never expected him to have a tournament run that you could stack up next to our greats but this is all-time stuff he's been doing through 4. Dominant on both ends.

Kemba level

Scheyer deserved to lose that game. What other big time coach intentionally fouls up 3 with 10 seconds left? That screams “I don’t trust my team”. Just watched the D00k presser and Scheyer literally said nothing about UConn. Not congrats on the comeback, just “we don’t deserve to lose the game like that”

For those of us who had our hearts broken in 1990
Beating Duke is more than special.
I haven’t had a Tate George nightmare where I yell for him to just bat the ball into the backcourt for years and today was fitting retribution to expunge that memory
Unless you experienced 1990 its hard to understand the significance 77-74
Today is the cherry on top.

BTW, I don't think they had the time, but they also did not have a MLB pitcher that could throw the ball in, either!!!

Those of you who called Hurley a Clingan merchant can pipe down now.

HOW MANY APOLOGIES DO PEOPLE HERE TO OWE MULLINS

🙋🏻‍♂️
During halftime, I texted my sister that I'd gotten to the point where I wish he'd just step inside the 3-point line before shooting.

Wally Sczcerbiak said a short time ago and it's true about The UCONN Program- "As a player, your coaching staff, your teammates in your lockeroom sets you up to make that shot, as a player. I mean it just doesn't go in for no reason. There's a reason. why that shot goes in. It's because evryone in that UCONN lockeroom, players, coaches, fans, everyone, believed that that shot was going to go in. And as a result, Mullins, even though a freshman, has the cofidence . . ."

This epitomizes the UCONN program.

 

[brihman]

Have a call with a couple Duke grads first thing tomorrow morning. Can’t wait!

Wow..what a game!!!!

 

[aceboon]

Props to Silas, was having a rough go with the unforced turnover in the 1st half that smoked momentum and then missing two wide open corner 3s in the 2nd half, but those two contested corner 3s broke seal and helped get us closer. Then of course the deflection, the fact that he's doing this with a high ankle sprain and was wearing a boot to media availability yesterday is nuts.

 

[uconngb]

duke radio wanted a tech lmao

lol they wanted a technical….even their radio announcers are bitches

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Crazy. Duke beat us 44 to 29 in the 1st half. We beat them 44 to 28 in the 2nd half 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

 

[NHRich]

Love it when Charles is wrong. Hope he keeps saying UConn can’t win!

 

[blkknight1]

Yes the day my hate for Duke and Christian laetner was cemented. None of us have ever forgotten that day. But this day makes it hurt a lot less

I'm sure it's probably already been posted but another angle inside the arena

 

[gars44]

The stat was that 1 seeds are 134-0 when up by 15 at half

But I wonder how many of those 134 were against 2 seeds …

Hitting those threes was like Rashad hitting one down the stretch in 04. Gave them a fighting chance

 

[Mister P]

Clearly, but in that spot a lot of guys filp it ahead where there are two unguarded players. Holding it means free throws and a last possession. He puts that above the defender, even straight up, the clock runs out.

Yep, but he didn’t.

 

[dennismenace]

Biggest shot since Kemba, but based on the stakes this one might beat it

That shot means Mullins is personally bringing the Huskies back to Indiana with him. He's going home to the FINAL FOUR!!

 

[uconnblueinky]

Reeds passes to Demary for the corner 3 and Alex for the layup were huge
Alex's three with a minute left that was preceded by a boozer turnover was also monstrous
And the confidence and coolness of Alex giving it back to Mullins for the game winner is a thing of beauty
This team is a thing of beauty
