Want To See "The Shot" Again?

I did. So:



If I recall correctly, several of her teammates sworn they knew it was going in.

In UConn history, ‘the shot’ is this one…

Great moment in UConn history.
I think she made up for it, though.

When I see that headline on the UCONN WCBB board the only "Shot" i think of is Sue Bird's vs ND.

I tried to show a video of the two Bird shots from the 2001 Big East final against Notre Dame, but could not manage to post those. One half court shot and the winning shot at the buzzer.

For me, "the shot" will always be this.

Agreed. The shot for UConn to me is Bird beating ND in the 01 BE finals.

Nomenclature is critical here. Diana's shot is THE SHOT. Bird's shot is Holy COW or Jesus, Mary & Joseph.

I could think of a couple other "the Shot" videos , but that might upset some folks

I still love the Polly shot at the end of the National Championship game against Syracuse.

Fun to see this "classic" again..
I couldn't help but notice Shea Ralph's layup after Swin's shot. What struck me (even after watching a few more times) was the similarity in mannerisms, movement, and demeanor between her and Ashlynn Shade (a comparison that has been brought up numerous times).
I also smiled as I saw 4 of our current coaching staff on the bench at this game 24 years ago!
Thanks for sharing.

Throughout the history of UConn WBB there are several instances that could be referred to as “The Shot.” But there is only one shot that will forever be referred to as “The Bounce.”

 

[Skeets]

I wasn't there for the "bounce", but I count myself very lucky for being there for being there for DT's 2/3 court shot, Sue's half court shot and game winning shot, and Swin's infamous put back (I laughed my head off).

Question for the old timers, what game was it when Gampel's roof leaked? I vaguely recall it was a BE tournament game. Was that the ND game? The guy who went up in the cage was the most badass thing I ever saw on a basketball court. I nominate it for the all-time badass award.

There was hardly anyone there for the bounce due to Covid protocols unless you count the cardboard cutouts that some fans paid to install in Gampel’s seats in lieu of actually being at the game.
