Favorite "Less Celebrated" Play in UConn History?

Souley's steal and slam.

I remember falling to the ground in my apartment after that went in, unreal.

Kemba's jumper to bury Wichita State in Maui in 2010. That game kick-started our early-season run and propelled us onto the national stage.

If we lose that game, we don't even get a crack at top-10 Michigan State or Kentucky. We're languishing at the outskirts of the top 25 and get maybe a 6 seed in the Tournament. There's no way we win the championship if we lose that game.

. Agreed, but Roscoe was MVP of that game.

Yes, but my fav from that game was when, after a Brand rebound, Billy Packer says words to the effect of "You're not gonna get the ball away from him!" On cue, Souley grabs the ball out of his hands and lays it in.

Souley got the bucket, but it was Ed Saunders who smacked the ball away from Brand. Saunders played great D on Brand in that game and without his contribution that game maybe ends differently. A lot of guys stepped up in that game.

Yeah - the starting five is obvious. Ed and Souley were big to let us rotate bodies on Brand. Box score says Albie only had 6 points, but a couple buckets came at key times. Rash had his moments, including the big one at the end. It was really a team effort.

From that Texas game with Kemba's three. How about Chuck pinning that dude's layup leading to Roscoe's...shot?

 

[amory]

Kemba Walker driving in for a layup in the last minute against Louisville in the 2011 BET championship, and then dishing it around a defender to Lamb for an easy lay-in.

I was at that game, in one of the only sections with a ton of Louisville fans. I gloated pretty hard. It was awesome.

Going back a bit: Lyman DePriest's baseline drive and throwdown over three Ohio State defenders in the '88 NIT championship game.

The best part about it was that he was our defensive stopper and hadn't done anything like that all season - so naturally we all lost our minds when it happened!...

We could have a thread of "Top underappreciated plays from 77-74"
We can start with Duke giving Souleymane Wane maybe the only double team of his life, prompting justified bewilderment from Billy Packer, followed by Souley scoring on them anyway.
