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?

Bazz vs Florida 2014 but I would include
JA 2016 vs Cincinnati was amazing but that for the tie.
But it rescued us from sure sure defeat so I would call a buzzer beater
They were already celebrating.

I thought Omar Calhoun had one too but that may have just been a late, important shot. I forget.
 
We’ve had many more recent buzzer beaters to force OT. Polley against Nova two seasons ago and Wilson against Wichita St, both in the Civic Center, come to mind.

Does Adams' 3/4 court shot in the 2016 AAC tournament count?

I remember Boat having one in the AAC tournament the year before that actually won the game, also vs Cinci lol

@kobe that was a great pair of moments, wouldn’t you say?

One of my favorites ever was 2012 or 2013 Shabazz against Nova. Pulled up with like 2 seconds left and banged it. Onions!

From 30-32 feet out.

You're probably thinking of his shot vs Georgetown at Gampel. I think that was to tie the game in regulation and then we lost in OT. Pretty sure that was an Otto Porter Jr Georgetown team

Didn't Sid Wilson send one to OT at the buzzer?

Yes. Crazy game. Probably Sid’s best game. That was the day Kobe died. And the fans (including me) were out for blood that day because of the officiating. Frustration was so high in those days.

No it was not the day Kobe died. Kobe died the day of a Tulsa OT game when Vital hit 3 free throws at the end of regulation to force OT. You are thinking a few weeks prior to the Kobe day.

I miss playing Cincy. Those games were always getting heated. Probably not the same without the angry elf on the sidelines though

Looking back, we always did well in the AAC tournament too before the slide happened.

Made it to the championship game all three times with two losses to Patino and Larry Brown.

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

Yeah, any hoops team coached by a guy who’s won an NBA Finals is going to be pretty good regardless of who they are. How the hell did Larry Brown end up there in the first place?? Has to be one of the more random coaching spots for that accomplished of a coach.

That Hurley team seemed ready to face anybody in the tourney. The 2016 team did well for the most part too just ran into #1 seeded Kansas that year.
