UConn Game Winning Shots

[mauconnfan]

I don't know if this was what you were thinking, and I don't mean to suggest more work for you @tcf15 , but it could be cool to have a highlight of these, in order from most time left in the clock to least. I'm sure you--or someone else--could put it together in a really memorable way.

You challenging tcf?

Craig Austrie vs South Florida in OT. Same situation as last night as there was 0.2 left on the clock after the shot, but close enough to a buzzer beater.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Denham vs gonzaga. Shad for the tie against u dub should be in there too.

It tends to get forgotten but didn't Denham hit a game tying layup against Mason at end of regulation?

If only that 3 went down in OT...

[tzznandrew]

The kick that launched a thousand sneers...

 

[joober jones]

Not quite a buzzer beater, but Ollie's go-ahead layup against Providence.

 

[swami7774]

Corny Thompson vs St. Johns in 1981.
Larry Blucher vs Syracuse in 1983.
Somebody (Robinson?) hit free throws to beat Syracuse in '88 51-50. AT Syracuse, which was even better.

This may be my favorite thread ever on here, so many great memories

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Often forgotten, Donyell's fade away in OT to beat BC in Conte Forum...

 

[BugsyCT]

Cliff vs Pitt in 88-89

Smitty vs Seton Hall at Gampel in 1990-91

Off the top of my head:

Boatright vs. Cincinnati
Shabazz vs. Florida
Shabazz vs. Villanova
Kemba vs. Pittsburgh
Kemba vs. Villanova
Tate vs. Clemson
Austrie vs. USF
Ray vs. Georgetown

What else has there been?

Rip v U Wash

 

[Edward Sargent]

Tragon Langdon's trip against UCONN. Of course that brings up C Laettners shot against UCONN which of course brings up Rod Sellers shot against Laettner

 

[ConnZag3]

Rashad vs Washington in the 06 tourney

I know the title of the thread is game winning shots...but there are so many clutch moments we have to include.

1994 Doron Sheffer and Donyell Marshall Game Tying 3's vs. BC

Uconn won in double OT

 

[rayallen34]

Also after Ray's hit...96 big east finals not a uconn shot at the complete end but equally as enjoyable.. after Iverson's miss...Jerome Williams misses putback... I I was a middle school kid going absolutely crazy in my bedroom....shooting on my mini hoop and praying for a win. We are a lucky fanbase man. Spoiled as hell

 

[rayallen34]

Raftery's commentary was pretty funny in that '94 BC youtube clip I posted. "I think you gotta think 2".

Sheffer hits a 3... Raftery: "Exactly what I said, get three to Sheffer"

 

[rayallen34]

Also, I wholeheartedly agree...this thread need to be pinned.

One of the UW players worked at the W in Westwood after graduating. Every time I showed up there in my UConn gear he just shook his head.

 

[Ricker]

Tony Robertson vs Arizona on the goal tending call if I recall
