UConn Basketball: #Onions

[Kembacity]

Thanks TCF, for the tears I will cry watching this over and over

particularly fond of the shot where Price/Austrie do that crouching slap fives routine

To me this is the mojo machine for 2016, but I would have expected the Brimah and-1 punching the ground to force OT against St Joe's, I understand its a bit of a different play than most of these though.

I'm on my way to getting fired because of you.....you glorious bastid!

 

[UConnStats]

Rafferty and Nantz on the call for Thursday's game. That's going to be very refreshing.

Awesome - love part II.

(small critique - you cut out the Villanova cheerleader from Part I - her reaction was priceless)

Thanks...yeah, I agree, but unfortunately, I had to make some cuts to allow room for the new additions (Caron vs St. John's, Omar vs. Georgetown, Kemba vs Villanova & Jalen vs. Cinci).

The smallest of critiques. Thanks for all that you do...

Makes it so easy to send youtube links to my Cuse and Nova friends lol. Makes them SO angry.

is consensus for top 5 best game winners/buzzer beaters the following (in no particular order):
Tate George the shot
Ray Allen vs Gtown
Rip vs Washington
Adams
Kemba vs Pitt

I think so, but I'm sure there are arguments that can be made for Taliek in the BET and Khalid at Pitt.

Okay, honest question, is there another program that has as many post-season game winning/tying buzzer beaters as UConn? Conference and NCAA.

To be clear: I'm thinking purely buzzer-beaters or shots that left so little time on the clock that the opponent couldn't really respond. Chalmers 2008 shot probably being right on the edge.

I know we're UConn fans so we're a bit myopic, but I watch a lot of post-season basketball and genuinely can't think of another team with 4: Tate, Rip, Adams, Kemba for UConn. Anderson against Washington might count too--but 1.8 seconds remained after and Appleby got a good look.

Off the top of my head:

Laettner hit two for Duke, but I can't think of any more.
McNamara hit a few in the 2006 BET.
Lots of teams with one great shot...

Tate, Rip, Kemba, and Adams are the pure buzzer beaters (no time left) in post-season play. The 1st three resulted in immediate UConn wins, and Adams tied the game, but that was so improbable (case could be made The Shot was on par).

Taliek we were already winning, that just sealed it. Not that I'm complaining -- up 2, Pitt getting the ball, there's a great chance we were looking at triple overtime.

Did you see his hands? They're beautiful. I think we should settle.

 

[KingOPancakes]

@tzznandrew Does boat's shot vs cincy last year not count?

Make it 5. Totally forget that shot.

Jesus - four(!) posts after yours. Not saying I'm doing God's work, but maybe I am.

Shut up and eat the MOJO SANDWICH, ya commie!

I think one thing I found interesting in making this video is some of the same teams just keep showing up.

Villanova: Rashad in 2004 (didn't make the cut, but I had it in there), Kemba in 2011, Shabazz in 2012
Washington: Rip, Rashad
Pitt: Khalid, Kemba
Gonzaga: Denham, AJ
Cinci: Boatright, Jalen

There were similar reactions from UC cheerleaders Friday

Was just scrolling through @tcf15's youtube page and came across this one:



Goosebumps.

Sometimes teams just love to be jolted - at least it makes them a part of history
Agreed that it seems to happen to certain teams
(I am sure Cuse fans feel that way about UConn????)

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Awesome as always! I would move the Rashad Anderson shot against Washington up to top 5 or so. That was such a great shot with incredible pressure (and it was in the NCAA Tournament). But nevermind, they are all great!

What a set of testiculos on Rashad. That one doesn't typically come to mind when thinking about great buzzer beaters in our history but I would agree with you. Unfortunately I think what happened after that game salted that one quite a bit.
