Remember the "four second offense."

[Palatine]

Back in the early 90's, UConn would in bound the ball, rush down court trying to beat the defense and get a good look in the first four seconds. The Huskies would regularly run a fastbreak off of made baskets. I heard the announcers call it the four second offense.

Does anyone else remember that phrase?

Not specifically, but some of my favorite Uconn sequences where Doron, Ollie, and the Marshalls scoring 94 ft fastbreak baskets without the ball hitting the floor.

Loved how it demoralized opponents after they'd hit a big shot against us.

My bad... thought you were referring to the Roscoe Smith Catch and Heave Offense.

This one was not as bad as the last, there was 2.5 seconds on the clock. The last time there was what, 20 seconds?

"Fast break off a make", I miss that kind of style in college ball.
