He had a rough game on the stat sheet, but man some clutch final minutes down the end.

Hurley’s ride or die.

I am not washing this shirt until after April 6th. Hubby gonna have to deal with it.

Stay strong and stick to your decision on this. We need you!

Nice shout out to Ollie by Hurley.

 

[UC Billy]

Yes Braylon hit the SHOT, Tate all over again. But AK never panicked in the final seconds. His composure and leadership was epic !!!!

 

[Inyatkin]

That will be replayed forever and ever and ever

Some entertainment for UConn fans:

MBB: Duke vs Connecticut in Washington DC (NCAAT Elite 8 -- Sunday 3/29, 5:05pm ET, CBS) Pregame & In-Game Thread

You gotta be kidding me

forums.dukebasketballreport.com

What's educational about that (and other threads about this game) is that I saw complaints about Scheyer's coaching and disappointment that player A or player B made a bad crunch time decision, but no player was called out for being garbage or should never see the floor again and so on - which IMHO elevates their fans over the idiots who post vile stuff on our boards.

did someone do a wellness check on RuffRuff?

Barkley, Kenny and Special K… 🖕🏻

Wow. I don’t know what to say. I was listening to the game on the radio and almost drove off the road when Mullins hit the game winner. Unbelievable. One of the greatest UConn MBB games of all time. To turn it around like that in the second half and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. I mean, what do you even say. This team DOES have that dawg in them!!

 

[SubbaBub]

Underrated moment, Reibe going Rod Sellers on Boozer. Big momentum changer.

Thank you for another payment.

They thought they owed us, but ironically, NOW we're actually even. 3-3 in NCAA tournament games.

 

[WrenchFan69]

I just got emotional again watching Silas Demary on one fuckin leg deflecting the pass and then crashing the boards in case Mullins' 3 was off. This guy is all heart man. What a special bunch

 

[Fore!]

Fell asleep at halftime,woke up with 2 minutes to go; how did they do it? I’ve got some replay to go over.

 

[Milo65]

I’m exhausted! Unbelievable win! Reed was an animal! We kept going to the rack and fighting! Let’s go!

 

[SCNCHuskie]

Been out of touch in Mexico. What i miss?

Just the biggest UConn comeback and biggest clutch shot ever. (Bigger than Tate George, bigger than Rip Hamilton, bigger than Kemba). This was to go to the final four and they were down two with point four seconds left.

 

[JungleLobo]

Can somebody explain to me what just happened? I mean we were sooooooooooo down, And out. Charles said at halftime, “I do not see UConn coming back. Just don’t have the athleticism or firepower.” Everyone agreed. I have to admit I didn’t jump out of my seat and swear at him from my living room. Then we come out, missing open three after open three, like we never did before . . . And next thing I know we’re down 3. What did I miss? How did that happen?

As good as Boozer was, Reed was eating the Blue Devils up consistently for the whole game until the rest of the team starting making some plays

Put that picture in the Duke Library.

 

[boba]

That is one of the greatest shots in college basketball history. Unreal.

Someone posted that 1 seeds were 134-0 when leading by 15 or more at the half. Is that true? An all time comeback.

We still talk about Tate George. This is even more improbable and significant

Another thing we don't talk about is Tate had a steal on that play before the one where Satan Incarnate beat us. Not this time Satan, Not. This. Time.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Shire boo hoo we’ve been hurt. Screw off

 

[Tommyboy]

I hope that guy in the chat that made a joke about the UConn bet to win it when down big made that bet!!!

 

[sledog]

Biggest shot since Tate?

That's the miracle but Tarris was the engine. 25/9/3 with 2 steals and 4 blocks. 63% from the field. Genuinely an all-time performance.

Kemba??

 

[Ripper32]

What does a shot like that do for recruiting? That's a multimillion dollar shot in free advertising.

Repost from a few months ago

I've learned that we have a great team, again! ... win or lose last night, I had a comfort like I did with our 2023 and 2024 teams, that we have all the pieces (even with injuries) for another title run

While I learned that, I will teach folks here w/ a quote from my Duke BB board - this is what a poster had to say about the game @ Kansas ... and it was acknowledged by many

"Nice win for UConn at the Phog without Tarris Reed. The kid Mullins is a player. Kansas’ offense was horrendous and it wasn’t because UConn was playing lock-down D. Still, UConn had attained a level of confidence where I always expect them to come back from whatever deficit they face to make it a game and/or win."

This is now The Shot

This will be replayed every FF for years to come.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Tarris Reed NCAAT:

22 PPG
14 RPG
3 APG

2.1 BLK
56% FG

Have we ever seen a player with a better individual tournament run?

Maybe Bill Walton? But nothing recent. Tarris was dominant in every game.
