Good god you found it. Wasn't this the Amelia Earhart of clips?

"Put that one on your VCR and keep it!" should be logged into the National Archives.

I was at that game. It was bedlam.

I really loved Toraino's game. He was as tough as they come, and he was developing nicely. Shame he couldn't keep it together.

We have several of those, I believe. Tony R's monster dunks, I don't believe, have been posted. They are considered contenders for greatest dunks in UConn history.

My favorite would be AD's vs Cuse @ MSG in the BET

problem was that was our last highlight of the game, Cuse went on a big run immediately following his massive put back

Absolutely a contender for best ever. Remember it vividly. Still consider it to be the ultimate example of his raw talent on display at UConn. Just sick - ebola-level sick.

Didn't he have another one where he was more under the rim and tomahawked it in?

Are these the two you are thinking of?

I was sitting at a bar in Jersey City watching it during lunch, and that dunk absolutely woke up the whole restaurant with the UConn fans yelling.

Dyson's half court toss to sticks against Texas when they were #1 is still my favorite. I was watching on TV and the crowd was loudest I've ever heard. You couldn't even hear the announcers talking

I can't believe someone actually found that clip. I was at the opposite end of the court in the student section and it was without a doubt the best dunk I have ever seen in person. Gampel went absolutely berserk.

I believe its the fruits of the @uconnhuskygames labor. @tcf15 and @gampelcrazies have really put something special together.

For me, it'll always be Donyell's 360-throwdown vs. Seton Hall, with the pose afterwards. That was so much fun to watch!...

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Wow, thanks for finding that. I used to have that on my VCR tapes when I used to tape every game in the 90's. Not sure where my collection is, probably lost from moving so much.

It's amazing the amount of people who have reached out to us with games to share. It's a lot of work, but a lot of fun coming across all of these older games.

Didn't Toraino have his signature monster tomahawk against Syracuse in the Big East Tourney?

I remember it coming off a missed free throw myself.

 

[UConnSwag11]

did he jump, palm it, hesitate, then dunk it? that's what's up

was at the game... i rolled my eyes when the ball was on the ground bc we weren't playing that well... then i look up and see sticks in the air... one of the loudest moments i've ever heard and been a part of

I absolutely love this one... along with Caron Butler dunk in 03' against Maryland.. in the tournament... at the end of the game... it was monster too.... but unfortunately the game had already been decided by that time. :-(

Could someone find that one? It's an awesome 1 hand put back in the middle of the lane.

I also remember a Tony Robertson dunk from the baseline.... which was monster considering he is 6'2".

And of course.. Dyson to Sticks... which I was reminded of by above posts. That was monstah....
