Maybe we could have a doubleheader at the XL and have AB do the star s. b.

Can he sing One Shining Moment???

That was an exciting game, and a great finish for us for sure.

The two best memories against Arizona are actually:

2. That OT thriller in 2002 down in Arizona where we won 100-98. It was a real coming out party for both Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon as freshman... Okafor was one block shy of a triple-double (19 points, 15 rebounds and 9 blocks) and Gordon led all scorers off the bench with 23 points, including 5 for 8 from 3-point territory. And he hit a couple of key ones, too.

1. Of course the Elite 8 2011 nailbiter in the Western Regional where we won 65-63 to advance to the Final 4 (and win our eventual 3rd National Championship), but only after two last play 3-point attempts, the first just missed by Derrick Williams (that guy was awesome in the tournament that year) and then off a scramble and kick out to a wide open 3 taken by Jamelle Horne that for all the world looked like it was going in... until it didn't. Kemba and Jeremy Lamb were just a little better... in that game, and throughout that entire tournament.

I was at, of all things, a chili cook-off during that Elite 8 game. It was at a bar, and I was watching with another big UConn fan. And we we both knew Horne's shot was going in.
