Yes UConn!

Ever since the pandemic began, we've had no idea what the future might hold for UConn and the 2020-21 college basketball season as a whole. Finally, after months of uncertainty, we finally have a vague idea of how things might go.

The most important thing, however, is that there WILL be basketball this coming season.

Daniel Connolly from The UConn Blog joins the show to talk about this year's UConn team, the addition of new transfer Tyrese Martin, the latest recruiting news and more. We also dive into the latest scheduling updates and what are expectations for the season are once all is said and done.

When Cincinnati's Kevin Johnson hit a 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds left in triple overtime, it looked like UConn's season was just about over. The 2016 UConn men's basketball team entered the 2016 American Athletic Conference Tournament needing at least a couple of wins to get into NCAA Tournament consideration and a loss to Cincy in the quarterfinals would have likely been the nail in the coffin.

Instead, Jalen Adams hit the most preposterous shot in UConn history to force quadruple overtime, setting the stage for UConn's stunning win and its eventual AAC Tournament championship.

Tim Fontenault is back to reflect on this UConn classic, how we reacted to Adams' full-court heave in the moment and where this game ranks in the pantheon of all-time great UConn moments.

The UConn basketball family suffered another terrible loss over the weekend, as former UConn great and longtime NBA standout Clifford Robinson died at 53.

Today Ken Davis joins the show to look back on Cliff's life and legacy, his impact on the UConn basketball program and his role in elevating the Huskies early in Jim Calhoun's tenure. We also look back on one of his signature moments with the program, his game-winning free throw to beat No. 9 Syracuse on the road in 1988.

Throughout the 1980s, the Big East Tournament was dominated by three schools, St. John's, Georgetown and Syracuse. The three powerhouse programs had won every Big East Tournament since the conference's founding until suddenly an upstart UConn program crashed the party in 1990.

Chris Smith, UConn's all-time leading scorer and a member of the 1990 Dream Season team, joins the show today to look back on UConn's epic win over Syracuse in the 1990 Big East Tournament final. We also touch on his recruitment, his professional career after UConn and what he's been up to lately.

What are the best UConn men's basketball teams of all time? We all know about the national championship teams, but taking all factors into account, you could make a strong case that the 1994-95 team belongs close to the top of the list. Led by Ray Allen and featuring a lineup that included UConn greats like Kevin Ollie, Doron Sheffer, Donny Marshall and Travis Knight, the 94-95 Huskies were the first team in program history to be ranked No. 1 in the country, and their rise really started in this early season win over No. 6 ranked Duke.

Taking on their old nemesis in the Great Eight Tournament at the Palace of Auburn Hills near Detroit, UConn finally got the monkey off their backs, beating Coach K's Blue Devils for the first time. The Huskies led almost the whole game, with Allen (26 points) and Ollie (24 points) putting on a clinic to help serve notice that even without the NBA-bound Donyell Marshall, the Huskies were still a force to be reckoned with.

Longtime Hartford Courant beat writer Ken Davis joins the show to talk about this game, that season and how UConn was able to elevate itself into the national spotlight in the mid-1990s, going from a regional program to one capable of bringing in top players across the nation and the globe.

Shabazz Napier had plenty of memorable moments throughout his career at UConn, but one of his most important and iconic came at the end of this epic 2013-14 game at Gampel Pavilion.

Facing a Florida team that would eventually establish itself as the No. 1 team in the country, Napier carried the Huskies throughout and knocked down a buzzer beater as time expired to deliver UConn the win.

Tim Fontenault, who covered this game for the Daily Campus and whose YouTube video of this shot and the subsequent celebration went viral, joins us to talk about this game and how it helped set the stage for UConn's incredible 2014 season.

This week the UConn basketball family suffered a terrible loss. Stanley Robinson, the former UConn basketball standout and one of the most exciting and athletic players in the program's history, died on Tuesday at his family's home in Alabama at age 32. Renowned by teammates and coaches as a kind and gentle soul, we remember Stanley's life, accomplishments and legacy in this special edition of Yes UConn.

The 2006 UConn men's basketball team was one of the most dominant in program history. Two years removed from a national title and loaded with NBA prospects, the Huskies spent the entire season ranked inside the top five and essentially dominated every team they played throughout the regular season. The only blemishes were a freak road loss to Marquette and a disappointing setback at Villanova, which also boasted a loaded top five team and was considered a national championship contender.

Two weeks after that loss, which knocked UConn from its perch as the No. 1 team in the country, Villanova came to Gampel Pavilion for the rematch, and folks, it was epic. The battle between the Big East's top teams more than lived up to the hype, and in today's episode Matt McDonough and I break down what remains one of the biggest regular season wins in program history. We also cover some of the history of the UConn-Villanova rivalry, which should be picking up steam again moving forward with the Wildcats now reigning as the top program in the new Big East.

The past couple of seasons have been tough for UConn basketball. Entering this season the Huskies had endured three straight losing seasons, and no current players had ever made the NCAA Tournament. Right from the start this year's team clearly had more talent and a higher ceiling, but frustrating loss after frustrating loss demonstrated how far the group still had to go.

But then, UConn turned things around. The Huskies started winning, started beating good teams, and down the stretch it suddenly felt like UConn had finally turned a corner and was capable of a real run in March. The biggest test came on Senior Night, when UConn welcomed No. 21 ranked Houston to Gampel Pavilion and picked up arguably the program's biggest win in years thanks to the heroics of senior Christian Vital, who had experienced all the lows and finally got his moment to shine.

Daniel Connolly from The UConn Blog joins the show today to talk about his experience watching this game from the crowd, what the past few years have been like from a student's perspective, and what Christian Vital has meant to UConn basketball.

Which UConn women's basketball team is the greatest in program history? That's a really tough question that's probably impossible to answer, but no matter what metric you use, the 2008-09 team deserves to be in the conversation.

Led by Maya Moore, Tina Charles and Renee Montgomery, the Huskies went a perfect 39-0 to capture the program's sixth national championship, absolutely demolishing everyone in their path. UConn won every game by double digits, smashing just about every ranked opponent they faced, and in the past decade since this season all of the Huskies' starters have gone on to enjoy successful pro careers.

More importantly, the players on this team have become social justice pioneers who are now at the forefront of the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement. Moore recently helped get an innocent man out of jail, sacrificing some of the prime years of her career in the process, and Montgomery and Tiffany Hayes recently announced they'll be opting out of the upcoming WNBA season to focus on activism. In terms of their accomplishments on and off the court, you'd be hard pressed to find a group of winners like this 2008-09 team.

Alexa Philippou from the Hartford Courant joins us for this episode, where we break down this team, their legacy and their crowning achievement in the 2009 NCAA Championship game against Louisville, which was actually a much better and more competitive game than you probably remember!
