1. NIT win.  It was so incredible at the time I don’t know anyone who even thought it possible. Remember this was the only Big East team to with zero NCAA appearances in their time in the league.  There was serious talk of returning to the Yankee Conference.  Jim Calhoun talked about toll booth workers crying as the team bus drove through on the way back to Storrs.  It made the idea of UConn Basketball credible.  
2. It’s Late. It’s Tate.  It’s Great!!
3. 1999.  Finally got the big one.  Extra special because it was Duke and nobody gave us a chance.  
4. Georgetown in the Dream Season. Suddenly, UConn was real.
5. 2011 Championship.  We weren’t on anyone’s bracket.  Then Brad Stevens was the brilliant young mind who would outcoach the old timer.  Except he didn’t.  
6. 2004 title game. Winning #2 made us a Program as opposed to just a one shot wonder.  
7. I think it was 1999, we went out to play Stanford with our 2 best players hurt.  Came home with the win
8. 2014.  Beating Kentucky added to the sweet taste.  
9. 2020 season upset of Houston.  We beat a ranked team and it was finally possible to think we might be turning things around for real.  
10.  Dream Season Big East Final vs Syracuse.  Another unbelievable accomplishment.  Most people simply didn’t think UConn would or could ever do it.
