One picture captures UConn's team first attitude...!!

Polly instagramed the picture with the quote "This moment was the best moment of my life"!!!!

If you were trying to find 1 picture that totally and completely defines and depicts the closeness and fellowship of this team, this is it. Every person (including the coaches) on the bench was ecstatic. THAT shot brought a tear to a few eyes, on and off the court. It made me jump completely out of my chair at home. The emotions captured are real, not manufactured. She puts in the same amount of hard work as everyone else on the team, but her on court rewards are few. THAT shot kinda balanced the scales.

This might not be a bad picture to put on recruiting mailers.

Agree. I don't think there was any portion of the game where I cheered as hard as I did when this shot went in. Seems as though the fan base mimics to some small degree the comradery of the team itself??

Besides Pulido making the shot, the best part of the highlight is defiantly CD jump around like one of girls.

For that one brief moment, she WAS one of the girls.

That really was the best moment of the night because let's face it the rest of the game was just us kicking the crap out of an over matched Syracuse team.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think it was Saniya that created the play- and even directed Poly prior to the play?

Poly may become the next Rudy Rudiger- from the "Evil Empire"!

Lots of fans there went nuts too, but not to the extent of the bench and coaches. This moment was up there with Heather Buck's steal and layup against Louisville in her last game; notice how consistently crazy the bench and coaches cheered for her. Just another few reasons why college sports are so much more enjoyable than the pros.

Since 1995 this is one of my favorite CD moments: thank you so much for capturing it in that photo!

Pure, unadulterated happiness.

When the team reconvenes in twenty years, that's what they will talk about.

The one where the ball has yet to go through the basket, Briana is still in her follow through, and everyone on the bench is anticipating, and willing the shot to be perfect, and so locked in to its flight - 20 eyeballs unblinking! Just a perfect moment captured. You can see the coiled tension waiting for its release in everyone.
