Some plays you will never forget...

[NYC_HUSKY22]

Full court allyoop pass from dyson to sticks against Texas

 

[Inyatkin]

How bout Doug Wrenn dunking on half of Georgetown in the 00 Big East tournament. It may have been his one and only UConn highlight.

 

[Dave]

Ben Gordon, MSG '04 BET tourney title game vs. Pitt. "Driving, hanging, and he hits!"

 

[Marat]

Some obscure ones that stick in my head....
Jerome Dyson's dunk in coaches vs cancer @ MSG, forget the opponent.

Dyson's dunk was against Memphis and Joey Dorsey.

 

[Scoe]

Souleymane with the layup over Brand

 

[intlzncster]

Laettner getting the people's elbow from Sellers.

I know you are not supposed to like those things, but that was satisfying.

 

[AJollyRancher]

'99 title game:

The mad scramble with Khalid passing it from the floor to Rip for 2
Saunders and Wane trapping/stripping Brand and Wane getting the bucket
Freeman's three amazing blocks in the first half
Ricky sidestepping Battier, then flipping it off the glass off balance
Freeman's one-handed putback just when Duke was going on a mini-run
Mouring's and-one
Voskuhl clobbering Brand and Duke going crazy over the no-call
Rip taking a charge from Carrawell and slapping the floor
Rip's three to go up 73-68, final points of his career
And of course, Langdon travels while Ricky snarls

Also from the Ohio St game, Khalid behind the back to Freeman

 

[HuskyHoosier]

as most of the others have been said, i'll add in Ray Allen's baseline driving dunk versus Villanova that was postponed a day b/c of snow in Storrs

 

[ZenConn]

Saunder's dunk vs Arizona
Caron's dunk vs Maryland

 

[Hugo]

KEA against Pitt. Down by 4, Albie hits a long 3 and Pitt throws away the inbound pass with about 4 secs left. KEA does his magic and hits a 15 footer to win it. He then jumps on the scorers table and gives the Pitt fans what they deserved for taunting him the whole game. Loved it.

 

[tcf15]

Kemba's off the backboard shot against Georgetown.
Kemba stealing the ball from Siva and then dunking it.
Andre Drummond stealing the ball from Fairfield at halfcourt twice in one half and slamming it home both times.
Drummond's one handed rebound and dunk from Syracuse BET game.
Buzzer beater against Nova from Shabazz.
DeAndre Daniels dunk against MSU.

 

[Palatine]

Giffey's drive to basket against Kentucky in the final four!!!!!

 

[CL82]

when kemba broke gary mcghee's ankles.
!

My all time favorite.

 

[Excalibur]

i'll add in Ray Allen's baseline driving dunk versus Villanova that was postponed a day b/c of snow in Storrs

That, then Rudy Johnson going baseline and dunking, followed by Kittles trying to match them and getting it pinned on the backboard by King.

 

[CL82]

Still...get...chills.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Ray Allen's twisting/kicking shot versus Georgetown in the Big East tourney.
Tate George's shot (I was off campus at Knollwood at the time)
Tate George not keeping the ball in bounds versus duke (I was at the Meradowlands for that)
Sadly, Laettner hitting the shot. I hate it, but it's stuck in my brain because I was there.
Not a play, but Jeff King sitting on top of the backboard after winning the NIT.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Taliek Brown's and1-esque crossover to bullet pass in transition in the OU blowout at Gampel in 04.
The Hilton rebound to Ben Gordon to Rashad Anderson dunk where the ball never touched the ground as featured in Marat's just one.
Amida Brimah's 3 pt challenge to fast break dunk to fast break block (bs foul) career debut.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

How about those 3 pointers that Arizona missed in the elite 8 in 2011?

My buddies friend from home and his gf I don't think have ever looked at me the same!

 

[Edge2017]

How about those 3 pointers that Arizona missed in the elite 8 in 2011?

My buddies friend from home and his gf I don't think have ever looked at me the same!

For sure man, I was 100% sure they were both going in as I gasped and jumped around the hotel room I was in, I am glad I was wrong.

 

[joober jones]

Craig Austrie's buzzer beater and bizarre dance that followed against USF.

 

[joober jones]

Then there was a time when Boo Willingham got some garbage minutes and made a layup. He then proceeded to low five the official and run up the court with his arms out like the wings of a plane.

 

[RichZ]

There are a ton of 'em, many of which have already been mentioned. But for me, as old as I am, for some reason, the more recent one of Kemba/McGee really sticks in my mind.

Also though, there's Saunders dunking on Loren Woods. The play that got them both their nicknames -- Edzilla and Mr. Softee.


About 10 of Emeka's many blocks. Ones where there was no way he could reach the shot and did. Funny, but I don't have any mental highlight reels of Hasheem's blocks like I do of so many of 'mek's.

Ricky repeatedly driving to the iron in the first half against duke.

Emeka walking the length of the court saying, "just need one".

 

[Huskyforlife]

I'll remember this because it was funny but how about Drummond dunking all over a 'very dominant' defensive center in fab melo. God espn loved that kid

 

[tcf15]

Emeka Okafor blocking Randy Foye's shot at the end of regulation and overtime against Villanova.

 

[Marat]

We can go on and on... There have been so many memorable moments in UConn basketball, and we are lucky to have witnessed these in person or on TV. I have been fortunate to have been following the Huskies for the past 25+ years, and looking forward to seeing MANY NEW memorable UConn plays that can be added to this list.
