Which UConn season would you recommend people watch first?

Piggybacking on this Best Teams ever Bracket thread

I know people like to binge watch things these days.

Which season would you most recommend people binge watch? Not necessarily because it was the team with the best overall talent, they may not have even won the championship, but just the most enjoyable overall from start to finish and explain why.

Could be because:

• It had your favorite player/s
• The competitiveness/closeness of the games.
• Under appreciated
• Nostalgia, for those who miss the (Old) Big East.

Start with the first available Bascoms senior year and trip to the final four only one game to watch and she’s the start of it all

If I had access to all of the seasons, I’d start with 85-86, 90-91, and 94-95.

I feel like those three would lay a solid foundation.

Watching her work for post position against much taller opponents was what hooked me into watching UConn’s WBB. She showed me how good she was, and how hard she worked, and the rest of the team was the same.

2013-14, 14-15, and 15-16. Those teams with the big three were juggernauts and some of the best basketball you will ever see played at the college level.

really tough question.
I like jumping around because the quality of basketball Uconn plays is unique - movement and ball movement and defensive organization and smarts. The players change, but the intensity remains. And it is fun to watch it from Sue and Sveta and Shea, to DT and Ann, to Rene and Maya and Tina, to Stef KML and Bria and the freshman, to Gabby and Lou and Pheesa.

I will give you 1995 and raise you 2000

The 2001-02 season is by far the best one... However there are so many to choose from. The 2015-16 year where UCONN was the first ever 4-peat... they had an undefeated season....

The 2000 NC was when UConn put everyone in their RVM and made PHS question her entire approach to the game.

That is such a great point. You can watch a 1995 game and see Rebecca Lobo run the same post isolation plays that Willnett Crockett ran in 2004 and Stevie ran in 2015 and Napheesa Collier ran in 2018.

I'm watching every championship season. Currently on the 99-00 season, pissed that they didn't beat TN at home, but that might have been a good thing at the end because it seemed to up their intensity and commitment.

2000 ...Sveta....unbeaten but by 2 points, Sue's first full season in saddle, blowout revenge NCAA Final ....
