After they let it bounce right in front of them, now another offensive reb given up to Wagler for the go ahead basket.

Thank you Mick?
Yeah I was literally thinking Edney as he was going lol.
Well, I was half right. He reincarnated Tyus Edney from round 2 of 1995 NCAAT.

Good result for UConn...
When you beat a top 10 team on a buzzer beater, college kids get a free pass to storm, no matter the blood status. I don't make the rules.

Fair enough. It was a good game and a fun finish.
I was thinking of Edney before the inbound, but I was thinking no way, that would be too story like.

Unfortunate for us given we beat Illinois.
But what was really amazing was that Illinois took a timeout to set up their defense with 4.9 seconds left, up one.
And the defense turned out to be "let their best player drive straight down the court and hit a layup."
(Of course I exaggerate a little, but it was really shocking to see how easily UCLA scored.)

They were afraid of the pass if they helped. But first rule of defense: stop the ball.
Our buddy, Aidan Mahaney is back in Hawaii since the Maui Invitational on ESPNU. I hope his time in Oahu is better than Maui. Will never forget how sad and despondent he looked after losing his starting job at the conclusion of the Memphis game.

A core memory I wish wasn’t there. I thought UConn was gonna win it all that year.

Absolute bogus call led to the win. Called a push-off on a flop when he was dislodging a guy draped all over him.

Same - not must see TV. Josh Jefferson is a nice do everything player, and their big 3 can shoot, but collectively not a very exciting team.
They've been pretty lousy on the road in B12 play, I could see them losing. Crushed by Kansas, lost at Cinci, at TCU.
