What a game. Nice to see the ball bounce UCONN's way (that 60 foot buzzer beater). What a shot. Should be the #1 top play on SC tonight. Maybe one of the top plays of the year...

According to Lunardi UConn needed this to get into the tournament, but after watching this game it's hard to believe there are 64 more deserving teams regardless of the outcome.

That was very entertaining! A little of everything. Some good plays and some not-so-good plays. The UConn men refused to lose, and that's what happens when you share a campus with Geno's BB kids. :)

One of the best games I've ever seen, and also the most overtimes of any basketball win that UConn has ever had.

A much more satisfying outcome than the 5-OT loss to Cuse, in which we never trailed in the first 4 OTs.

Maybe the USC and UCONN men will meet in the 8/9 game in Brooklyn. Brooklyn would be my 2nd choice if we aren't placed in Raleigh.

Would be great to see the Husky mascot chew up a Trojan!

Adams' shot beats Tate George's shot in UCONN lore.
Well, in terms of degree of difficulty or improbability, sure. But in terms of lore, a game-winning shot arguably trumps a game-tying shot, and a Sweet Sixteen win absolutely trumps an early-round conference tournament win, to say nothing of how vital that 1990 team was to building the stature of the program. Time will tell where today's miracle ranks, but one thing's for sure: difficulty in ranking crazy postseason buzzer-beaters (these two, Kemba's against Pitt, Rip's against Washington) is a wonderful problem to have. Great to be a Husky or a Husky fan! :D

I watched the game & will agree it was one exciting #&%$ of a thriller! However UConn should have won in regulation. Up six points, their next two possessions turnovers, then they can't even get a shot off on their last trip. Just terrible. I had flashbacks to Dom Perno games :(

There's so many more too, it's just tough to remember them all. Rashad's. KEA's. Ray Allen's. This list goes on and on.
