UConn Basketball: #Onions

[Joobie]

TCF, goosebumps, tears & gratitude....we are so fortunate to have had so many great players & heartstopping moments to celebrate as UCONN fans. Thanks for reminding us of some of the best of them...

After watching that, I want to run a hundred miles and then fight a dragon with my bare hands.

you'll need at least 4 cell phones (preferably iPhone) for that

My middle daughter texted this video to me after yesterday's loss. I wasn't feeling it then and I'm still not now, but you gotta love the spirit.

Our guys need some onions today.

I've watched it upwards of 100 times now and been in a great mood all day/night. It's like a morphine drip.

 

[FLhusky91]

Gives me some absolute chills everytime I see the ball go in and the reaction from the whole crowd. I can never get tired of that!

 

[Obrero]

... It needs an update.

... It needs an update.

Yup.

Heads up, tcf. Since you did part 1, Raftery has trademarked "onions". Obviously don't want to see you get in trouble for this.

 

[GoUconn7961]

This is the greatest video of all time.

Raftery is going to sue him for the 0 dollars he's made off that video.

 

[johnhuskies95]

Wasn't sure if he had ads on his YouTube channel.

 

[tcf15]

Nah, but I appreciate the heads up.

 

[Matrim55]

Bravo @tcf15 - you spoil us!

 

[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.

 

[TheRogers]

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.

 

[J187Money]

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.

 

[tzznandrew]

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?

They're YUGE!
