UConn's last buzzer beater

And it was really only 3 truly bad years too. Funny enough, Hurley’s first year was our worst conference record in the AAC. I think we would have won the AAC Tourney in Hurley’s 2nd season before covid ended everything. That team, like all Hurley teams so far, started clicking in late Feb/March and won 6 out of their final 7 games, with the one loss in double overtime.

Those SMU teams were so damn annoying. We did win the AAC Tourney in 2016 though
Nic Moore.
 
Does anyone know when uconn men's basketball last buzzer beater to win the game was? I was thinking the December 2013 game vs Florida at Gampel Pavilion when Shabazz hit that shot. Was there one after that?
Apparently not.
 
I miss playing Cincy. Those games were always getting heated. Probably not the same without the angry elf on the sidelines though
Angry elf? I like it. I went with demented leprechaun.

I don't know about the last one, but the first one I saw was my freshman year (1968-69) when UConn won only five games. One of them was a 74-72 win over BU on a Bobby Boyd (I think) baseline jumper at the buzzer. That team started 0-10 and beat Syracuse, believe it or not, for their first win, 103-94 at the old field house.
 
How about the best buzzer beater and best call by Sean M:


One of the images that sticks with me on that play was Kevin Freeman still laying on the floor after everyone else got up from the celebration. He had given it everything, and looked to be still recovering.

Jake got hammered on his shot and Rip as well on his first attempt no call, as expected end of a game. The toughness of keeping it alive, El Amin being part of that down low was deserving.

They did, but SMU was banned from playing in that tourney. It's still a good accomplishment to win the AAC since there were other good teams, but SMU was a top 25 team that year and they split with UConn which included the game at Moody's where they won by 26 and their point guard was throwing alley oops off the backboard on fast breaks.

It's interesting that UConn never won at Moody's, not that it matter's all that much now.

Buzzer beaters are fun, but I could get used to their tourney approach of beating everyone by 100.
