I was there for that game. One of the loudest times I’ve heard that building get.

And FL didn't lose again until we beat them in the Final 4.

Buzzer beaters from tied to winning are great. Buzzer beaters from losing to winning are a whole different thing

I almost hit my head on the ceiling jumping up after 10 seconds of heart palpitations during that sequence. What a game.

 

[AreBee1969]

I screamed "ONIONS" loud enough to wake up the house.

Daniels keeps it alive! Awesome atmosphere that game!

I actually almost broke my hand, because we had low ceilings and i jumped and raised and pumped my fist in the air and did some damage, hahah

Mr. Big Shot!

I don't know if it is true, but it sure as hell feels like we have many more of these moments than other schools.

We do. We're so spoiled.

 

[GruntCakes]

And don’t forget our obnoxious level of arrogance!

 

[Mr. French]

I can't remember the reason, perhaps work or something dumb, but I recall not seeing this game live. My younger brother texted me something like "did you see Shabazz tonight?" and I immediately got annoyed that I missed it.

Of all the huge moments in our program history since I started watching in '94, I haven't missed many.

And FL didn't lose again until we beat them - AGAIN - in the Final 4.

FIFY LOL

 

[Boost'ED]

Love Shabazz; one of the most underrated players in UConn (and dare I say recent CBB) history.

Seeing that AAC logo on the court gives me some bad flashbacks.

That was as sick as I have ever been and gone to a game, or any multi-hour event. I had been in bed all Thanksgiving weekend, with my fever bouncing like a bungy jumper starting on Thanksgiving, getting as high as 102. I had a whole bunch of fun stuff planned with my kids that weekend, including the football game against Rutgers, and I couldn't do any of it, so I went to that Florida game out of guilt as much as any other reason, because I was still so sick. I had half a pharmacy in me just to stay upright, but I was certainly glad I went.

Watch Boatright on that possession. I'm so curious what happens to him after he goes off screen.

What an intense buzzer beater.
