This deserves it's own thread..... thanks to whoever put this together....

Best historic video of Uconn hoops ever !

 
That's a very good highlights video of UConn basketball history, and I like that even Kemba's mother made the video at around the 2:28 mark because she was an omnipresent Super Fan at games even after Kemba left UConn, but missing are 2 extremely iconic moments that should have made that video:

1. The photograph of Phil Gamble and Jeff King sitting on the backboard at Madison Square Garden at the end of the 1988 NIT championship game, with the final score on the scoreboard in the background. This is one of great iconic UConn sports photos that should make any mixtape, and honestly whoever the photographer was should have won a Pulitzer Prize for sports photography:



2. On live TV before the Duke-UConn 1999 Championship Game, in which UConn was a 10 point game time underdog, Khalid El Amin tells Bonnie Bernstein "we plan to shock the world" (see end of interview, 0:54 mark):

 
Another moment I would have added is Shabazz Napier's "Hungry Huskies" postgame speech after the 2014 National Championship:
