Great performance

[dannyHAM]

Obviously the comeback was insane.. but we did this on the road down 18 with Bouk doing almost nothing. Insane confidence boost for the boys. Go UConn!

 

[XLCenterFan]

Not so long ago we fold here and lose by 30. We are back. Danny has changed the culture. An unreal W right there.

so glad to see polley healthy

 

[Kenny11]

Great win.
whaley is truly the GHOAT (greatest hedger of all time)
Polley was great and even showed some handles.
bouk even played solid defense!

 

[TheRealKBuks]

That is a game we haven't won since 2014. Toughness, Intensity, Polley!!!

 

[nadavtheman]

Program building win. Really needed something like this after the tough Creighton loss.

Bouk set screens for Polley and hustled on defense.

Ranks right up there as one of the best comebacks I can recall. The one UMass one where we’re down like 25 in the 90s probably still takes the cake.

edit- 2002 season

I was talking to someone who mentioned they had an early day and might drop at halftime (old guy) and I said "Let's see what Hurley does to adjust in the 2nd half".

Couldn't be happier to see the run they went on to take this game over. Adjustments are everything in college hoops and Coach got a big + from me tonight.

Quad 1 win, too!

January 11, 1995
No. 2 Connecticut 85, Pitt 76

Pitt jumped out a 40-15 lead with 5:00 to go before halftime but UConn's Ray Allen went on to score 19 of his 27 points and No. 2 stages the rivalry's greatest comeback at Pitt's Fitzgerald Field House.

If you told me before the game that Bouknight and Martin would total less than 10 points combined and we would win the game by 11 I would have called you crazy! Polley showing some dribble skills to set up his shot which I love and Whaley just doing everything you need to be a winning team. Great performance.

Me and my buddies are definitely seeding whatever money Whaley needs for his ball screen defense consulting business.

The Pitt comeback, we were down 24? at the half and were ahead by the 10 minute mark of the, maybe earlier, the second half. I think of that game a lot.

Good find!

 

[UCLJ0211]

This is the one I was thinking of. Down 34-9 and ended up winning by 11. Thought it was in the 90s but happened in ‘02 season.

Number -wise or point spread, yes. But quality-wise, this is against a high-major on their floor so this is more impressive being against a far superior opponent.

The win was great.

The performance was a bit uneven.

We had 9 points going into the half. I remember hearing that JC was silent in the locker room.

Remember that game. We were so good i didnt feel like we were out of it down 25

Loved this game. Khalid jumping on the scorer's table at the end taunting the Pitt fans who were all over him during the game.

Great comeback! I remember watching this game when i was 12 years old but for whatever reason completley forgot about it.

Also forgot about the fact that there was ESPN +Plus back then. Now and days us fans would do anything to avoid watching them play on ESPN +

 

[nashusky109]

Also can we acknowledge how much fun it is seeing the bench reactions?! They were all hype for Tyler and it was fun to watch! Also noticed that Andre Jackson is always so hype for his teammates - glad to see him so involved especially after a tough couple games and an injury. I severely miss seeing the bench reactions at games played at Gampel this year. Really don't like the fact that we moved the benches to the opposite side because of freaking ads.

 

[Ts5034]

I remember that UMass game vividly. Its still crazy to this day that we were down 34-9, and came back to win the game comfortably. It's one thing to be down 25, but to be down 25 points while only scoring 9 in the first half just makes it even worse.

Wrong year. Khalid wasn't there until 1997.

Was at that game with alexd sitting in his seats. At halftime he told me he was never taking me to another game again. Lol

Had a late meeting and had to watch on about an hour delay, while I was watching the early demise, could only imagine what the chat was like. The comeback must have been equally glorious...

 

[HCCForever]

Correct. Khalid did that in 98-99 season.
