Have to agree with Joey C vs. Georgetown. It was the week before Christmas, and boy we needed that. I was calling him Joey Christmas that week. He would never pay for a drink again in CT after that game.
Seeing the switch flip on the entire season in the second half at Gampel vs. Xavier. I know we lost the game, but the season and the team were different after that half. I'd be willing to bet that in the whole country, no team was better than us from that halftime on. We scored 55 on X in the half and almost came back from 17. When Ajax stole that ball at midcourt and threw down the dunk to cut their lead to 1....Gampel was going insane. We all felt was what was coming, and we all knew what was possible.
What I saw from Hawk at Depaul. It was that moment that I knew I'd never see him in a UConn jersey after this season.
The $2 beer night where PC got annihilated. Not only did we never have a $2 beer night before that, but we rightfully embarrassed them, and Cooley's post-game comments sort of turned our fan base on PC. Not in the sense that they are our rivals, but in the sense of..."wait, at first we were laughing at you, but now our goal is to destroy and embarrass you...forever."
When Ajax did small, tiny things that no one in the country can do, and you're like "OMG I am so glad he is on our team." The play at the end of the first half vs. Gonzaga was a prime example.
When the fan base kept showing up and selling out games even when we went through the rough stretch. We knew what we had and we saw what was capable. Even the casuals saw it.
All the former players and recruit showing up to games.
When we embarrassed MQ at the XL.
Sanogo owning Creighton after Kalk had some tough talk.
There was so much going on this season...what a ride.
