Yes UConn!

Dom Amore, the Hartford Courant's longtime men's basketball beat writer, joins the show to talk about one of the most iconic plays in UConn history — The Shot.

After leading Clemson by 19 points midway through the second half of their Sweet 16 matchup, UConn's dream 1990 season looked like it was about to end in nightmarish fashion. The Tigers had stormed all the way back to take a one-point lead in the final minute, and with one second on the clock UConn had to complete a full-court inbounds pass just to have a chance at winning the game.

Enter Tate George, who went up and grabbed a picture perfect pass from Scott Burrell in traffic, turned around and knocked down the buzzer beater to send UConn through to the Elite Eight in stunning fashion.

Souleymane Wane, a member of the national champion 1999 UConn men's basketball team, joins the show to break down one of the most significant games in UConn basketball history, the 1999 Elite Eight against Gonzaga.

Having never reached the Final Four in program history, Wane talks about how much beating Gonzaga and breaking through meant to the Huskies, and to coach Jim Calhoun in particular. He also shares some of his favorite memories from that championship season, his subsequent professional career overseas and his current run as a high school basketball coach in Massachusetts. He also dishes on some great Khalid El-Amin stories, which you'll definitely want to stick around to the end for.

Matt McDonough returns to help break down UConn's 2011 Sweet 16 win against Kawhi Leonard's San Diego State team, a game that has aged better than probably any other played in college basketball that season.

Featuring two of the top NBA players in that year's draft, Kemba Walker enjoyed arguably the finest performance of his career, scoring 36 points to help overcome Leonard and a raucous pro-San Diego State crowd to send the Huskies through to the Elite Eight.

Besides the game, Matt and I break down the big picture implications of this matchup and the Duke vs. Arizona Sweet 16 game that immediately followed. We also share the story of our mad dash across the country to make it in time for the game, as well as Matt's encounter with Kyrie Irving's dad later that night.

Longtime UConn basketball and New England Patriots beat writer Kevin Duffy joins the show to talk about one of the greatest college basketball games ever played, the UConn vs. Syracuse six overtime game in the 2009 Big East Tournament.

Duffy, who got to cover the game for the Daily Campus as a senior, shares his experience watching the legendary game unfold. We talk about the thrilling moments, the great and not-so-great individual performances and Eric Devendorf's almost buzzer-beater that nearly crushed the hearts of UConn fans everywhere.

Mac catches up with Matt Burke, who covered the 2004 UConn men's basketball team's national championship run, including its legendary showdown with Duke in the national semifinal.

Trailing Duke by seven points with around three minutes to go, Emeka Okafor overcame early foul trouble to lead the Huskies on an epic run down the stretch to stun the Blue Devils in the final minutes. Okafor gave UConn the lead for good with a second-chance basket with under a minute and then sealed the deal with the game-clinching free throw. UConn would go on to trounce Georgia Tech in the championship game to claim the program's second national title.

Mac catches up with longtime Daily Campus sportswriter and current ESPN editor Tim Fontenault about the 2014 National Championship Game against Kentucky.

In an unlikely matchup of resurgent blue bloods, UConn came into this game with a chip on its shoulder after being banned from the prior year's postseason, while Kentucky was looking to live up to its preseason No. 1 status by running the table through the tournament after an underwhelming regular season. Though Kentucky boasted an alarming advantage in size and athleticism, UConn's veteran leadership and timely shooting helped the Huskies pull off one of the most satisfying victories in program history to claim their fourth national championship.

Tim and I discuss the game, his experience covering it for the Daily Campus and it's unique place in UConn history as the spiritual end of the Jim Calhoun/Big East era. We also break down some of Shabazz Napier's most memorable moments as a Husky and a few other things that stood out upon rewatch.

Mac catches up with former UConn roommate and lifelong Huskies fan Jesse de Boer about the 1999 National Championship Game against Duke.

Entering the game as a heavy underdog, UConn went toe to toe with the Blue Devils, getting some crucial offense early from Ricky Moore before Rip Hamilton took over in the second half to help put the Huskies ahead for good. A late defensive stop by Moore and a pair of clutch free throws by Khalid El-Amin would seal the deal, as the Huskies shocked the world to win the program's first national championship.

Jesse and I discuss the game and its importance in the trajectory of UConn men's basketball's rise to national prominence, as well as all of the individual contributions that helped UConn stun what was thought to be among the greatest college basketball teams ever assembled. We also have a few observations that stood out upon rewatch, who did and didn't play as well as you may remember and more.

In the inaugural episode of Yes UConn, I catch up with my old Daily Campus partner in crime Matt McDonough about the greatest UConn game we ever watched in person, the 2011 Big East Tournament quarterfinal against Pitt.

This is the game where Kemba Walker became a legend, breaking Pitt center Gary McGhee to the floor with a killer step back move to knock down the game-winning shot at the buzzer. UConn would go on to win the Big East Tournament and eventually ride the momentum all the way to the 2011 NCAA Championship, claiming the third national title in program history.

Matt and I discuss our memories of the game and what it was like to cover it for The Daily Campus before going in deep on how the game played out, what stood out upon rewatch and who did and didn't play as well as you may remember.

A couple more quick things:

GROWING PAINS: This being the first episode, I'm still working out the kinks with my recording setup. For this one my primary recording turned out unusable, so I had to resort to my emergency back-up on my phone. The audio quality is basically ok, but every time I shift in my chair or pick up the phone to look something up, you can tell, which is annoying but bear with me for this one. I've already figured out what went wrong and future episodes should come through nice and clear.

CORRECTION: At one point in the episode I tried to make a reference to Amidah Brimah's offensive rebound and put-back basket against St. Joseph's in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, only I mixed up my Philadelphia schools and said Temple instead. Sorry about that.
