SI's Best Non-NCAA-Tournament Games in Last Decade

[WrenchFan69]

Top 10 non-NCAA tournament games of the last decade

On here for the 6OT, the Jalen Adams shot, and Kemba's stepback. Pretty good list imo

 

[ctchamps]

Three in the top ten. Could have put Bazz's buzzer beater against Florida as well.

UConn = Blue Blood;

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Three in the top ten. Could have put Bazz's buzzer beater against Michigan State as well.

UConn = Blue Blood;

I must have missed that game?

Yeah Florida.

UConn = Blue Blood;

Come on, that was not a top 10 non-NCAA game of the last decade LOL.
This isn't a top 10 UConn games of the last decade.

 

[Travelman6]

6OT and Pitt for sure. No doubt. I would put the 4OT Cincy game as my all time favorite however.

El-Amin’s winner at Pitt for me. Especially the leap to the scorers table afterward.

In the last decade. Some posters on here weren’t even born when that happened.

Its insane that it has been 20 years.

UConn = Blue Blood;

Yeah and that "blueblood" Syracuse is mentioned once and that is a game vs UConn

 

[AdamaNation]

I will “like” on behalf of our orange troller “cuseeee”

Can you imagine how great El Amin would have been if he was athletic instead of a chubby little guy ? He had so much confidence, that’s what I loved about him.

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

Good list even for non uconn games! I remember watching that Indiana Kentucky game, was insane...

Some of my favorite games are definitely non-March madness games. Teams winning at home / or coming into someone else’s place and beating and them can be so much more dramatic sometimes

 

[the Q]

I didn’t realized playing mediocre basketball (and that’s being generous) for a really long time got you such accolades.

No, playing fantastic basketball a little while ago got those accolades.

 

[the Q]

You know what I meant. That was a mediocre game with an outlier of its length. It really wasn’t well played.

 

[the Q]

The fact that this game doesn’t even get an honorable mention is a joke. It’s probably too 3.

OSU's Mario Boggan hits game-winner in 3OT

I’ll look for the video shortly

 

[the Q]

Can't Stop The Bleeding » Kevin Durant + Mario Boggan = Fried Synapses

not the best video quality, but yes that is a young kevin durant with the key offensive rebound and put back in video 1.

And yes that is a center hitting a huge 3 for the win (37 points and 20 boards FWIW), followed by one last great defensive stand by OSU.

I remember watching this one live. Fantastic game.

This list covers games from the last 10 years, so that one wouldn't be eligible.

Damn, off by a year. My bad.

I admit I just really love that game. One of my all time fave non Uconn games
