My favorite UConn team of all time. EMEKA OKAFOR!!!

A graduate student of mine somehow got onto the floor as the game ended. Coach K did the mandatory line congratulations, then ran over to a ref, literally screaming, “You fucked us! You fucked is! You fucked us!” My grad student heard this from 15 feet away. At issue was the no-call with 11.6 seconds left. The replay shows a clean strip by the UConn guy, and that K had no view of what happened because he was seated behind the play. Hilarious!

From 1999-2005 the ACC and The Big East were dominating the NCAA as 6 of the those 7 years, the National Champion came from either the Big East or the ACC: 1999- UCONN 2001 - Duke 2002 - Maryland 2003 - Syracuse 2004- UCONN 2005 - North Carolina The only time was 2000 were the champion was Michigan State from the Big 10. I am counting Maryland as ACC as their National Title from 02 came as a member of the ACC, well before they moved to the Big 10.

One of the only times I can remember a Duke team choking and succumbing to the pressure. Most Duke teams would win a big game in which they had a 73-64 lead inside of five minutes, but this Blue Devil squad just wilted as Okafor and Company willed the Huskies to victory.

If you really think his shot vs Utah is the greatest shot ever taken or greatest moment, you’re just a dick rider. There’s nothing amazing about any 90s championship the bulls won. They were never underdogs, never faced a team that was great

Tyler Hansbrough carried this squad throught out the season and tournament.They are a powerhouse blue blood team.North Carolina had just won a title in the 2004-05 season so I wasn't surprised that the Tarheels won this one.And I don't like North Carolina but I have to respect thier basketball program that sent players to the NBA like Michael Jordan,Vince Carter, and Eric Montross.

not that I expect most people to remember this who weren’t UConn fans or students in 2004… but the biggest joke of this NCAA tournament was them not being a 1 seed. They were clearly the best team in the tournament. Outside of this game, every other final was a blowout. I remember Jay Bilas on ESPN the night of the seeding laughing at the 2 and said “have you seen these guys play?” mocking the selection committee
@DanielSong39 Жыл бұрын
They had 6 losses which was more than any of the 1 seeds and objectively their season long profile was not as good as St. Joseph's, Kentucky, Duke, or Stanford Now they were a talented team and was able to shake off the regular season doldrums in the Big East Tournament and in the NCAA Tournament

@@DanielSong39 i’m not arguing the record. I’m just referencing Bilas’ comment because anyone who watched them that season could tell… those losses, it almost looked like they just decided to not play hard here and there.
