When was the last really good UConn comeback win?

[Travelman6]

I'm actually drawing a blank here. Any cases where they came back from 20 down? I was thinking of the UMass game where they turned a 9-34 hole into a 59-48 win and started to think, any other recent cases of overcoming a 15+ second half deficit?

Of course 2004 Uconn overcoming 9 points in 3 and a half minutes vs Duke.

Anything else?

 

[McLovin]

At Marquette in the Covid year when Polley scored like 20 points in the second half, was a pretty good comeback. Deficit was around 15-20 points I believe.

Edit: Marquette led 41-23 with 17:09 left in the second half, UConn would go on to win comfortably, 65-54.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

One that flies under the radar a bit is the 2012 BE tournament comeback against West Virginia. We're down I think 9 at the under 4.

 

[McLovin]

Also the 2014 Final Four when they were down 16-4 with 9:04 left in the first half, they would go on to win 63-53 (winning the final 29 minutes 59-37).

 

[Palatine]

At Butler this year. They led by eight in the first half. Down by seven at halftime. In the second half Butler had a 68% chance to win.

We prevailed and won by seven.

 

[UConNick]

In February 2017, we were down to Memphis 40-26 at the half after being down by as much as 17 in the first half, and wound up winning, 65-62.

I remember this one for more personal reasons. The few days before the game, I had a horrible virus; chills so bad it was more like convulsing, nausea, and a fever peaking at 104. I was feeling slightly better the day of the game, and the fever had been gone for about 12 hours, but I was nevertheless completely drained. Still, it was my senior year, and I had my duties to be there at the front of the student section to lead the charge - I consider this my "flu game" as a student fan. Slept for about 14 straight hours afterwards.

I was really hoping that we would come back vs Creighton with a shot at buzzer. What could have been ...

 

[USNavyDog]

Uconn versus Boaton college back in 1994. Huskies trailed by 18 points late in the 2nd half and took the Eagles into double overtime.

Those were days when Bill Curley was the BC cebter and Donyell Marshall was leading Uconn 25 ppg.

 

[Kathy]

I still marvel atcoming back to win when down 4 with 9 seconds to play vs Pitt in '98 and KEA standing on the scorers table.

The other from 2015 vs. Florida down 13.

[HuskyHoosier]

There was a game during the Ray Allen years vs Pitt we were down 40-15 in the first half, closed it to 45-30 at the half, and ended up winning comfortably

 

[HuskyBoi]

The marquette game like 3 years ago at their place. Polley just couldn't miss that day

 

[RichCTBB]

2017 vs Memphis in Hartford…trailed by 14 at the half, still down with 4 to go…we left early to beat the traffic and regretted it as we listened to the rest of the game on the way home.

Florida in national semifinal in 2014

Weren't we down 18-2 or something? Seth Davis was actually gloating?

Think we had a few comebacks during that run

16-4 with like 8 minutes left in the half. Then we hit back to back 3's, a T-Sam layup, and another 3, and it was 16-15.

Damn, 34 years ago

2:40 mark

 

[IndyLives]

The Kemba Run in the 2011 BE Tourney included some of the most thrilling games. I believe UConn was counted down and out in some of the games before Kemba rescued them. UConn ran the table for Calhoun's last Title.

It was during the more forgettable AAC years. I admit, I found it hard to get up for AAC matchups. We had this awful habit of digging holes and falling behind . Every game seemed like that. I haven’t left a game early since unless were blowing someone out

I think Pitt (40-15) and UMass (34-9) are tied for the biggest comeback in program history. (At least in my lifetime.)

DOWN 25, UCONN WINS

Maybe UConn just got tired of winning the same old way. Or maybe being the No. 2 team in the country means the Huskies are capable of winning against all odds. Either way, UConn accomplished someth…

I believe the Pitt game we were down like 10 in the first half.

I really prefer the way we play now. Get the lead and (try) to not lose it. A few years back when we had less talent we invariably fell behind by a lot, had an amazing comeback until just before we got the lead and then were out of gas only to lose. I particularly remember this during Jalen Adams era and somewhat less under Vital/Bouknight.
