Message: [QUOTE="UConnMike04, post: 2208807, member: 1643"] For me it was the 2004 championship weekend. I was a senior and it was a great way to end my 4 years there. I remember after Ok4 hit the free throws to put us up 4 running outside with everyone else to go party. Wasn't until the next day I realized we won by a point bc of Duhon's pointless 3. Being in Greensboro for Rip's fallback. Not only was it a great win but boy were we damn happy we didn't drive about 12 hours to see a terrible loss. Also walking out of there the UNC fans were really worried. To their credit, after we lost to that Vince Carter team, they were all gracious and said next year is your year. That being said, the next year was 1999...enough said. What sticks out for me in that tourney though is the beautiful behind the back pass KEA made to someone on a fast break layup in the elite 8 against Gonzaga to take the lead or seal the game (can't remember which, just remember it being a killer for Gonzaga). I still say Gonzaga being in that game is what propelled their program. So many more to mention, from Kemble to Bazz to Jalen's shot to Tate's, to the MSU game in MSG, to Marcus Williams doing chin-ups on the nets in Cuse and then us smashing them at their place, to KEA jumping on the table, to Taliek's 40 footer, etc. Also, I know this is a men's board but how many schools can make a list like this for the men and the women? The '95 season, the crazy win streak, the wars with Tenn and then ND recently, from Lobo to Svet to Taurasi to Moore to Stewart, etc. Don't bash bc I brought up the women, just cool to think about how we can do this for both teams and no other school really can.
