Where does that rank?

[UConnMike04]

Where would you rank this game in UConn men's history for the regular season at home...I say 1) Zona when we rushed the floor for first time, 2) Butler's buzzer beater against St. John's in '01 I believe. Then I'd rank this game as third.

No. 1 Texas has to be in that conversation.

No. 1 Texas has to be in that conversation.

I was thinking that game as probably 4, only because the first three were buzzer beaters and that game was decided with a few min to go if I remember right.

I was there for the Zona game. That was pretty cool...

Same, I was a student then actually. I pushed Richard Jefferson outta my way when I rushed the court...

 

[BoatShow]

If we beat GTown last year that'd be my 1. Best atmosphere I've been a part of.

Agree that the home game v. No. 1 Texas needs to be included. Loudest I ever heard Gampel get on TV. Students brought it tonight though.

This game was very frustrating. Poor ball movement, lots of fouls on UConn, barely any fouls on Florida. Not that Uconn deserved them, but they were calling the game tight, and Boatright got bodied on a drive late in the game. Couldn't believe there was no foul.

By far the best game I've been to and I don't think another game will come close!

 

[maineuconnfan]

What about the pittsburgh comeback

 

[GlastonTim]

It's up there

 

[Gurleyman]

UConn-Georgetown 1990 will always be #1 for us old folks.

 

[CTMike]

THAT WAS F*$)ING AWESOME!!!

Right up there with that Arizona game and Georgetown last Feb (though with a much better outcome!)

 

[rw005]

I'd put this in my Top 5.

It doesn't make you old. The back to back wins against Cuse and Gtown during the dream season were awesome.

What about the pittsburgh comeback

Which one? The 25 pointer or the Albie Mouring/Khalid game? Those were on the road, but I don't know that I've ever enjoyed a regular season game finish more than the Khalid game.

I'm just laughing that all these youngins have a frame of reference that goes back to Arizona 2001. There's no way to explain that Georgetown game to someone that can't imagine a time when we were a perennial doormat.

There will never be an arena more bonkers than that place when we went up 14-0, and Georgetown couldn't get the ball over mid court.

 

[babysheep]

Even though we lost, when Cuse came to Gampel in 2012 for Gameday I could feel the yelling reverberating. Like the cheering from the student section was echoing back at us. I've been to some great games at Gampel, nothing comes close.

 

[nomar]

It's a top-5 finish but not a top-5 game, IMO. It was competitive and fun to watch but the stakes weren't that high.

Don't get me wrong: I was screaming. That was awesome.

This is my favorite game too because I also rushed the court. The best game I ever attended.

 

[NHUConnfan]

Uh...my friend just reminded me of this awesome finish.

I'd definitely rank this higher than tonights.

[YT]

Also in consideration (in no particular order):

• Kemba versus Pitt
• THE SHOT
• UConn v. Dook '04
• UConn v. Dook '99

 

[hooskies]

Thankful for this thread. People need to take at least the night to enjoy this win before posting a thread for every coaching adjustment that pops into their head.

The thread was about games at home or otherwise we all wouldn't be so stupid to forget these.

Ah, was very tired when I wrote this.

The two loudest games ever. Mostly because it was all unexpected. The Dream Season.

Not that it had an exciting ending, but one of the most thorough whippings of a very good team was the first NC year against Michigan State at Gampel. That was the game that convinced me how tough a group that was and how stupid it was for the "experts" to be crowning Duke as unstoppable.
