The People’s Elbow!!!!! Tyranny was dealt with that day. That picture should be up next to the 99 championship banner.
Came here to post this one!

Excuse the poor quality, but this one always comes to mind as the first time I realized a Connecticut basketball team could win something.
I came back to post this one, but you beat me to it. It was the only one left of the four I wrote down when this thread started.
Was trying to find this one to post
That photo brings back a big disappointment for me. I was watching the game real time and Coach Morrone ran and jumped on that pile full speed. When Channel 3 showed highlights, for some reason they cut the scene just before Joe got there. Made no sense, wait one more second and get a great visual. And that shot ended up being the go-to shot for years to come. Cut just before the wide old guy in the suit and trench coat jumps the pile.Since it is underrepresented here. 1981 National Champions moments after the winning goal.

I was there at MSG. My final semester at UConn. Biggest win for the program up to that point, JC's second season at UConn if I recall correctly.View attachment 113619

This is a great idea - I really need to do this.Can we fill this thread with the most iconic still images in UConn History? I’m thinking about making a wall in my basement dedicated to all the great images and I’m looking for inspiration. Searched for a similar thread and didn’t find so please link if I missed it.
