KEMBA period, finito, end of story, game over man.

All have made clutch shots in important games.
I suspect the best pure shooter on this team is Polley ,Followed by Gilbert , Vital and Adams but I can’t recall where anyone present now except freshman Adams have ever been in a meaningful game that came down to one shot. We will see what happens maybe Nova will reveal that guy.

How could you leave out Tate?
 
I’d take Kemba, then Bazz, but Khalid seemed to always find a way. He wasn’t the best shooter, and it wasn’t always pretty, but he could find a way to score.

Every time I see that replay, I swear that on the Vontego play, the ball came back to him from the front court before his foot came down in the front court, which is a back court violation.

Been thinking this over with a buddy. You need a UConn guy to make one clutch shot for you....just one. Everything on the line. Who you taking? And you can't say Olander, cause that just would't be fair. I'm going with goat...Rashad Anderson.

Onions def not getting enough respect in this thread OP. KEA is my all-time fave; Kemba will never be topped; but when I saw the thread title this morning the first name that came to my mind was Rashad.

His clutchness in that 2004 semi against Duke is indelibly etched in my heart, which I genuinely thought was failing as I stood in the stands in San Antonio while he rescued us. By the time he was at the free throw line—after sinking two clutch threes in the final moments—there was no one on the planet I would have rather had taking those shots. I’ve watched the video dozens of times since and it always confirms the confidence I felt that day. He was so relaxed and dialed in at the same time there was no doubt whatsoever.

Can’t believe nobody’s mentioned Antric Klaiber yet.

I have been an avid fan since 85 and my order is as follows:

1. Kemba
2/3. Bazz / Gordon ( to close to call)
4. RIP
5. Ray
6. Rasheed
7/8. John Gwynn / Chris Smith
9. Caron
10. Kahlid

My all Heart / Dirty Work Team

1. Gavin Edwards
2. Omeka
3. Kevin Freeman (Warrior)
4. Kirk King
5. Jeff Adrien
6. Niles
7. Donny Marshall
8. Jerome Dyson
9. Tony Robertson
10. Ricky Moore

Favorite to watch when all cylinders clicking

1. Stanley Robinson..... should have been so much more

Right?? I would've thought Rashad would get more love for this one! Ice in his veins
 
Ray Allen...seems like the 90's have been forgotten.
Watch him vs Georgetown...nuff said

Like the addition of a dirty work team, but I’d definitely need an Edmund Saunders on your that list. Guy cleaned up everything
 
Rashad Anderson, in the 06 run, he hit a lot of last second shots to keep the run alive.

I couldn't imagine picking anyone else
 
You want someone who can create his own shot to hit the clutch/last second shot situations. Rashad was clutch as hell and if I had someone to pick for a catch and shoot three with the game on the line he's the guy but he really wasn't going to create the shot.

Kemba is Jordan or Bird. Rashad is Robert Horry.

It's insane this is the first mention of Rip I've seen in the thread. You could easily make a case he's the best and most accomplished Husky ever and he seemed to always hit the shot.

I can't find the article now but I recall, a while back, Calhoun being asked which of his former players was the best clutch shooter. He said Rip.
 
I wonder where Craig Austrie falls on the list. Calhoun called him “the closer” at one point. I’ll never forget that big game winning shot against USF. Just wanted to give Craig some love here... as you already know I stated Kemba period on page 1.
 
I may get stoned for this but going to the basket you have to at least give Jalen some consideration right? I mean this yr he hasn’t been great in clutch situations. But his first 3 yrs he had plenty of moments. That play @temple last yr comes to mind. Jalen can get to the cup at will

He's not even all that close to top 10.
