OT: Greatest play in school history

[skies88]

Greatest play in the history of UConn athletics and it’s not particularly close

Wrong board.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Cool play but that’s football and they scored on the next down I think

 

[skies88]

Wrong board.

One school one heartbeat

 

[UConnRock]

Wrong board.

And now it is a penalty and Lloyd would be ejected from the game.....but back to basketball

@superjohn definitely has a point with the state of the board...some crazy takes all around... apparently now ranging across sports

Nice hit and all, but it isn't as meaningful if the same back got the ball the next play and scored. His instant recovery would be bigger than the hit, in my opinion.

We'll get back to normal with the vaccine, hopefully coming sooner than later. Just saying, mulligans and forgiveness aplenty nowadays. Crazy times!

To me, the greatest play in school history has to be something meaningful - or a play that led to something meaningful.

Personally thought JC Superstar. Jorgensen was rocking that night.

"And he hit the shot" was pretty darn memorable. Shame the guy is in jail, but "one second left" sure is in the "great" category.

"What's he doing? Going one on one against the best defender in college basketball... and he travelled... " ranks pretty high too."

By far the 1 and 2 on any list for UConn sports and its not close.

1. As much as I loved the first Edsall years, no, that play wasn't even close. The answer to the question would be Tate George's shot, and it's not close.


2. Watching it live, the Greg Lloyd hit was somewhat disappointing, because when I first saw it I assumed the ball carrier's head was still in the helmet when the helmet went flying off. I was disappointed to see that somewho the helmet had separated itself from the head.

What's the second one from? Feels like it could be '99 vs Dook, but i can't put my finger on it.

Langdon vs Moore when UConn was up 75-74. Moore was like 2 steps ahead of that spin move Langdon tried.

“the whole season on the line and Langdon travelled!”

Thanks, I had a feeling that was it, but I didn't remember the quote itself.

I was at the game beautiful fall football day - incredible. Felt like I was in the movie Rudy. Emotional game too because that’s right after UConn’s cornerback died. Forgot his name. Rip

Even so, comparing this to Scott Burrell to Tate George for "The Shot" is like comparing Cars 2 to The Godafther 2. This doesn't make the top 1000 plays most likely.

 

[SubbaBub]

Not even the best FB play, while still a signature highlight.

FB: DJ in 2OT vs Pitt.
MBB: so many but the finalist are Tate, Rip, Kemba, Trajon
WBB: I don't follow closely, but I always liked DT working the UT basket stantion pad.

All time: probably Tate maybe Trajon, but definitely MBB.

 

[BugsyCT]

I'd say it's the football program's greatest win simply because it's Notre Dame and in their stadium, but greatest play? No.

 

[Waquoit]

For the women it's the Rizzoti crossover lay-up.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Thought I'd be watching Tate George.

I agree 100%. I tell people all the time that this was the single best game I have ever attended - any sport. And I've been to hundreds of games in every sport, including NCAA tournaments, BE tournaments, NHL Playoffs, golf majors, and even a Super Bowl. We were down 21, in the rain, and DJ ran it in to win it and tossed the ball out of The Rent.

 

[superjohn]

The best UConn football play ever was Teggart's 52 yard field goal to beat USF and go to the Fiesta Bowl. It was the last great moment for the program and it's all been a dumpster fire ever since.

 

[RichZ]

Scott to Tate to the bucket announced to the rest of the basketball world that we'd arrived. But we lost in the next round, so in my mind, it loses a touch of its luster.
Ricky stopping Langdon earns points because NCAA Chip on the line, and it was against Duke.
Not sure whether Kemba's ankle breaker step back against Pitt ranks in close proximity to those two or not. but probably does, as it was the key moment in 11 in a row, which has to be the greatest overall accomplishment in UConn sports history.
