Some plays you will never forget...

[dtrumpet]

Lyman Depriest's dunk in the 1988 NIT. It was unexpected from him, lightning quick down the baseline, and thunderous.

 

[UConNation]

Rashad Anderson's ONIONS against Washington.
Denham Brown's rim-hugging layup to send the following game to OT.

Both of those plays would be better remembered if followed up by, in fantasy-land, Denham Brown's step-back game-winning 3 to send us to the Final Four. Out of his hand I swore it was going in.

I still for the life of me can't understand why he didn't drive on that play. Best case scenario he makes the shot and gets fouled. More likely that he gets fouled and shoots 2. If I remeber correctly, he was perfect from the stripe that day. Se la vie... they were an amazing team.

1) Kemba breaks GM's ankles in the BE tourney
2) Rashad's ONIONs shot. I was a sophomore that year. I was in a dorm room in Hilltop Suites watching that game with my friends. When that shot went in the hallways flooded with people and everyone was hugging and high fiving everyone. Whether you knew them, hated them, drank with them. Great great night.
3) End of the 1999 National Championship game
4) End of the 2004 National Championship game
5) End of the 2011 National Championship game

Cliff Robinson giving the crowd the finger when they yelled for him to sit down at the old field house

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.

I believe it was a dunk versus Pitt at the civic center. I still have that game on vhs. There were some great dunks by Donyell and Donny in that game as well.

 

[Huskies4ever]

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

How about the three by Rashad to send that one into OT as well? Loved his reaction (as one would expect) afterwards.

How about the three by Rashad to send that one into OT as well? Loved his reaction (as one would expect) afterwards.

I was at that Nova game and was going crazy, high fiving any UConn fans near by especially when Rashad hit that shot and on the Okafor block.

2009 seems underrepresented, so I'll give a few from that season.

AJ Price hits the game-tying 3 against Gonzaga to send it to overtime, with Gus Johnson on the dramatic call.

AJ's ankle breaker and 36 points against Marquette, giving Calhoun his 800th win.

Going into South Bend, with ESPN touting it a matchup of the two big men, and Hasheem Thabeet dominating what's his name on ND.

The six OT game (I was there, unfortunately)

Kemba's coming-out party against Missouri in the Elite 8.

 

[bear]

Devendorf jumping on the table after hitting what he thought was a game winner in the 6 OT game, only to have it waved off.
Lamb's posterizing of some poor Columbia kid.
Sticks' putback dunk against MSU in the 09 F4.
Kemba's game winner against Nova.
The potentially game winning 3 pointer at the end of the Arizona elite 8 game in '11 that looked good the whole way but was just a touch too long.

 

[dsturdy5]

Emeka going up to block an Alabama player with one hand and then actually getting the block with the other in the 04 Elite 8. Also, Anderson's jumper at the first half buzzer of the 04 championship game. It was over right there.

 

[Kurt]

CJ Fair bear hugging Roscoe no call.

I'd be willing to pay a princely sum for said video
