Scoring Notes:
In my recollection, the 3 guys above never hit a true “game-winning buzzer-beater” at UConn. The big shots for each - Ray vs. GTown, Jalen forces 4OT, Taliek vs. Pitt - don’t fit the full criteria. I’m also very much open to challenges.

The more negative your number at this point the better.

 

[storrsroars]

Surprised Tate only got 5 votes. Guess only us really old guys went there.

That was my first answer. Then I realized Kemba’s big step back would be fresher for most here. Or at least they might have been alive and eating solid food.

Well I’m a dummy that can’t read

 

[OkaForPrez]

Why didn’t I write bazz ‍♂️

 

[SportsFan88]

I had more faith in people than I should have given we just finished a 12 page thread on Purvis

That’s why he was my answer LOL

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking that this question was about the Kevin Ollie playing days and not his coaching days…I’m already out of it lmao

Mi hermano.

Certainly takes the pressure off.

It seems we've stagnated at 74 responses - going to lock any new entries and we'll have some answers coming shortly.

You set the *********** deadline to tonight.

That was probably the all time great buzzer beater, because a perfect full court pass and shot in that time is almost impossible to execute . Kemba had tons of time , and Jalen was 99% A prayer.
Tate‘s was also to get to the elite 8 so it was a bigger stage .
but it was a long time ago.

If my homework looked like this, I wouldn’t wait until the deadline to get it done.

The linked video gave me a clear sense and recollection that buzzer beaters that instantly convert a loss into to a win are the best. Doing so in a win-or-go home adds to it.

Tate's shot did both.

A number of games would have gone to overtime if the famous shot hadn't gone in.

Interesting to note that Hamilton's was a second shot after he'd missed. Shabazz's early season against Florida also converted the do-over.

The great play in Bazz shot. Was DD beating the entire Fla team to get a tap out to him for a wide open 10 footer.

We're in the heart of the offseason, so it's time for some UConn (Reverse) Sheep Trivia. I encourage everyone to take part in the fun.

This is a game where you try to out-think other forum posters.

Shoutout to the OG sheep himself @Mano who brought this game to The Boneyard years ago. The rules will remain the same for this iteration.

Rules:

• There are two types of questions: Sheep questions (1-10) and Reverse Sheep questions (11-20).
• For Sheep questions (1-10), you want to answer what you think will be given most often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a Duke player" a good answer is Christian Laettner and a bad answer might be Nick Horvath.
• For Reverse Sheep questions (11-20), you want to give the answer that you think will be given least often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a basketball conference in the NCAA," the ACC might be a terrible answer while the Horizon League could be a good choice.
• In Sheep questions, you get one negative point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. For example, if you and six other people said Laettner, all seven of you would get -7 points.
• In Reverse Sheep questions, you get one positive point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. If you and ten other people said the ACC, you would get 11 points.
• Incorrect answers in Reverse Sheep get the number of points for the answer with the most votes + 1, making it worse than giving the worst correct answer. Incorrect answers for Sheep questions will be worth 0.
• The lowest total score wins. In the above two examples, your current score would be –7 + 11 = 4.
• No using Google, Wikipedia, etc. if you don't have to. Try to remain moral in this (i.e. don't use them to cheat).
• Fill out the Google Form to submit your answers. Do not post your responses in this thread or tell anyone else.
• Answers are due by Wednesday, August 3 at 11:59PM ET. Answers will be revealed over the following days. We’ll put a cap at 50 participants.

After the K fest last year? I was a non-stop coach K party all season long. Besides, you never forget your first.
