He'd make big play after big play right at all the precise moments and it was his defensive effort early stages of the second half against Butler that completely switched the momentum!

Mister Captin America Greg Oden didn't go to UCONN...

Them UCONN days were crazy i remember watching espn everyday after school and Kemba was all over the Highlight reel that year

Greatest tournament run i have ever seen. I still can't believe Kemba didn't get the player of the year award. That kid from BYU, Jimmer Fredette got it! Unbelievable, Kemba put a group of freshmen on his back and ran through the Big East tournament and straight to a National Title and got snubbed! Still makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it.

You are entirely correct .

it was pretty obvious something special was going on with this team during the big east tourny. definitely one of the best runs by a team i have ever seen in my 28 years. kemba walker was absolutely locked in for this team, was really something special to watch

Although they beat my Butler Bulldogs, you can;t deny how incredible this UConn postseason run was.

It was an incredible postseason run by both squads! Butler getting back to the final was way more remarkable than what they'd accomplished the year before! Their 2011 team was an 8 seed for God's sake and they weren't as talented off the bench without Veasley and Jukes from the 2010 squad

i was a sr in highschool in ct when this happened and it was like boston and ny sports just evaporated. no one cared at all about any other sport except the uconn men. it was a magical time, and an amazing run

I'm here for the 1000th time because Kemba Walker is a New York Knick. 🧡💙🗽

I thought I was watching a movie

I still remember watching that step back live.. that was insane

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Thanks for the greatest basketball run of my life n shout out to Napier too

Kemba stepback J is unforgettable 💘😻

I'm a Pitt fan and man i remember the step back like it was yesterday

Tradition as the tournament starts this year to come back and watch this.

yo I didn't even realize we went up against Kawhii Leonard. I had no idea he was on the 2011 SDSU squad.

Nate Wright BUTLER should've defeated DUKE the year before when they had the chance to do it. That was their best chance to win it all as that was their year. They came so close to do it but that last shot went half way in but came out. A total heartbreaker. Didn't have a chance against a determed and way much better CONNECTICUT team.

It seems like everybody is oblivious to the one main fact being overlooked here! This is Butler being discussed! BUTLER! A school which had only ever been to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament twice in their history before Brad Stevens! Granted, to lose consecutive championship games is gut-wrenching, but at the same time we also in hindsight need to remember Butler making it to the national final twice in a row was an extraordinary accomplishment! They were the standard setter for the mid majors and the Horizon League had never even had a school make the league relevant on the D-I as a whole landscape! More credit should be given to Butler's amazing success than any what-if's!

@@CaptainAmerica-jw2xh and it wasn't that they didn't have a chance! They just happened to pick the worst possible time to have their worst perimeter shooting performance (13-64)! In the title game! The final was 53-41 and had Butler been able to hit the barn broadside, it would have been either teams' game to win! Most sloppy NCAA final of all-time! Connecticut wasn't that superb and their defense did force some of the issue, but it was mostly a case of Butler uncharacteristically missing shots they normally made

I always come back to this video. I've watched it like 8 times. I remember being in the 10th grade watching that game winner vs Pitt live. I was going crazy. Plus he's from the Bronx !

Man! Lots of great cuts and great shots… wonder how this will play out next round

Ironically, Kemba now plays with Coach Stevens and Gordon Hayward.

I'm a near-lifelong ACC fan sans the Tar Holes and besides stating the obvious, the '80s Big East was close behind throughout that entire era! UConn was the bottom feeder in those days until Jim Calhoun's arrival in the spring of 1987 (greatest rebuild in D-I history in my opinion, Scott Drew with Baylor #2)! I vividly remember games on the old Big East Network (Bill Raftery and Mike Gorman) from grade school into junior high! When the heated Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry began it's ascent! Great time period! I'm 49 now and the memories never fade

I remember watching this live! The most impressive ncaa run I’ve witnessed! Unstoppable Kemba .

I keep coming back to this video cause it’s so hype

Taylor Trantham you can only hope, but with the Celtics? That’s a big ask. Then again he prove the haters in college, so can only hope he proves everyone wrong in the nba. Definitely someone who has always been a favourite player of mines.

One of the best years of my life.

Visiting this again 6 years later, two coaches after and we're back in the Big East. Hoping for a great outcome this year with both the men and women's basketball teams.

One of my favorite sport runs from that decade. I don't follow college ball but that uconn run made me a fan of it.

New York WE HERE!
