A friend just texted me a clip from the 2014 win against MSU in the elite 8 win in the Elite 8. Watched it twice, and thought to myself, time to go check out the Boneyard! The clip was the Neils G breakaway dunk, immediate time out Michigan State. The NBE needs to know, when it comes to playing games in MSG, Daddy is coming home.
 
During the game Packer and Rafferty talked about the home court advantage uconn has had at msg. I believe he said at the time, we had won 60 games there.

“Daddy’s coming home” Is a good t shirt for uconn fans to have at the big east tournament next year. Should piss a lot of people off

i still can’t fathom how Gary Harris’s cheap shot To Bazz wasn’t a flagrant 1.

Great moment. Garden was going nuts. Me and my boys were going equally nuts at my house. God I miss sports.
 
Another game to watch us own MSG is absolutely blowing out top ten St. John's in the BET championship back in '99

Went to that one. Awesome game!
 
I was there. At some point during the game they put Rip on the video board and there was a cheer. Then they put (I think) Mateen Cleaves on the board and there was less cheer. They went back to Rip and the place erupted in cheer. Then back to Cleaves and the boos rained down. It went on for a minute or so.

I think Verne Lundquist was laughing about it when they came back on the air.
 
This game has 2 very strong memories for me, Number 1 being my favorite called in sports history, " Why didnt he pass the ball? NOLAN WANTS IT ALL!". Number 2 being Michigan stats floor slap in the second half that UConn immediately scored a quick 6 on.

Due to this thread I rewatched this game today. Crowd was great. Game was actually terrible. Bad shooting, ton of turnovers. Reminded me of Uconn 2016-2017 except we won! We did play great defense. Shabazz did not lat a great game but was still awesome.

That was a great moment. That actually seemed to spark the UConn crowd back into the game. Up to that point. MSU was on a heck of a run and that took our crowd out of it for a little while. After the Rip/Cleeves video board, that got the crowd fired up again. That really was unbelievable how much of a home court advantage we had that day.
 
My brother and I Took our families to both games that weekend. My girls still talk about it! UConn home games.

Yes this was really good. Happened during a few commercial breaks. Had the crowd going nuts. Atmosphere was wild.
 
The Napier 3 (my picture) right before the Giffey dunk at the 8 minute mark was awesome - classic Bazz

took the train in that weekend after work with only the clothes on my back and no plans on where to stay, bought tickets both days on the street for way more than i should have...turned out to be an incredible weekend and well worth the cost, but that Nolan dunk is the single memory that sticks in my mind years later.

it was the culmination of that entire weekend, and when i could finally let my guard down and know that we were really headed to the final four. all time uconn memory.

 
lets also not forgot the great moment after the game as Jim Calhoun was being interviewed on court. Boat ran by, they embraced, and Calhoun said "youre defense was special man." Great game, great run
 
This thread put me on a 2014 tourney jag yesterday. Y'know, that team kicked ass in the Final Four (I guess the last 5 games, actually). They were relentless, it was the opposition that was "bravely hanging on".
