I don't ever want to take that highlight video for granted.

I watch it 10 times a year

I remember the Butler save/pass.
The Hawkin's dunk against G-town last year was up there, but I remember letting out an audible "Wow".

Spectacular can be bad as well. It might not be what you want to remember but the Marcus Williams steal and missed layup in the fina minute against Notre Dame had me not believe my eyes. He was having a big night too.
Runner-up for bad for me was I think Shamon Tooles inbounding the ball to Darius Rice for a Miami 3. I remember think Tooles had to keep the pass inside the 3-pt arc to prevent that exact thing from happening.

Bouknight putback stuff off his own missed shot was pretty special, too.

I always defend Tooles on that play. I forget which guard he tried to pass to in the corner. It was a horrible decision to inbound the ball to the corner. Everyone knows. The guard he was passing it to tried to grab it on the run to get up the court and Rice jumped the passing lane. If the guard had taken two steps towards the pass, Rice plows him over and UConn is shooting FT's to ice the game.

Lower tier, but Lamb’s steal against San Diego State in the Sweet 16 always sticks out. The way he just elevated and plucked the pass out of the air to start and finish a fast break the other way. That one always stuck out with him as well.

Shout out to me for that win. I had tickets and didn’t use them because UConn had lost the last two games I had been to. I wanted to wait for a lower stakes game to break the streak. Still waiting on my ring but, honestly, knowing I’m mostly responsible for 2011 is thanks enough.

Not in the last 25 years but this will always have a special place in my heart:

Post/handle of the thread.

And add me to those who loved that Boatright's 'magic trick' layup got mention in this thread. It 100% was, "Wait, what, did that just happen?" without being anything that was physically spectacular. Pure sleight of hand.

I was looking for the Rudy Gay 360 dunk but only found these stupid highlights

 

[gorbowski06]

Here is a good one from Early in the 2011 season when Kemba couldnt miss

 

[Deleted at users request]

I feel like Jerome Dyson was a pro at that behind the back drive to a dunk or layup but I can’t find it. Does anyone remember what I’m talking about?

 

[Palatine]

Kemba also passed to himself off the backboard. then mmade the lay up. I remember the play but not the opponent or anything else.

Vs. GTown

Thamnks for that. I've seen that before---but I don't think I have ever seen it with one foot behind the arc. That is pretty spectular.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Whoever mentioned Jerome Dyson...he would show up a few times if you extend the rankings a bit.

Another Youtube classic I return to from time to time
