UConn’s men’s basketball community is buzzing as a new fan‑driven bracket pits the program’s most unforgettable moments against each other, inviting supporters to crown the single greatest shot in school history.
The Shot That Defined a Season
Compiled by veteran beat reporter David Borges, whose two‑decade tenure has made him a fixture on the Huskies beat, the list was assembled after a painstaking review of countless highlight reels and game‑ending heroics.
At the top of that list sits Braylon Mullins’ buzzer‑beater from the Elite Eight clash with Duke, a four‑month‑old miracle that saw the sophomore swing the ball from the perimeter and watch it kiss the net as the clock expired.
The shot’s drama is amplified by its timing — four months ago, in the heat of March, the Huskies were locked in a tight contest with the Blue Devils, and Mullins’ clutch finish turned a potential comeback into a heartbreaking defeat for Duke.
Now the bracket moves into the next phase: a four‑day voting window that closes each night at 10 p.m., with daily updates posted to the poll and the final winner set to be announced on Friday. The matchups span from the Sweet Sixteen all the way to the championship round, ensuring that every era of UConn basketball gets its moment in the spotlight.
Fans can follow the evolving bracket on the UConn portal, where the poll’s progress is refreshed daily, building anticipation for the ultimate showdown.
