Taliek Brown, Rashad Anderson Two Of My Favorite Huskies Of All Time, and two of the most unappreciated. Without those two guys those teams wuldn't have been nearly as complete. Gordon and Okafor were still pretty damn good tho haha. Charlie V, Mwill etc. what a great team.
Taliek Brown was amazing. he controlled the floor so well. i think he gets ignored cus gordon and emeka was in the spotlight for most of the time. but taliek would embarrass his opponents with his passing skills. i love gordon and emeka , boone, anderson, denim, and the whole team... but taliek is so under-appreciated , sometimes it seems unfair.
Stubby, right the depth on that team was sick Emeka, Charlie, Boone, Gordon that team was so sick and I forgot Brown to but that was a awesome team this coming from a UNC fan.
This team was fantastic, just the right mix of sturdy veterans and exciting young players. It's not every year you have the likes of Josh Boone and Charlie Villanueva as freshman contributors. The depth on this team was insane.
Uconn's 2004 National Championship is easily one of the best teams in the history of college basketball. They had matured players with experience that knew how to win.
They could rebound, play great interior defense, and score on offense anyway they choose to. They also had a great team balance and depth that most teams can only dream of. The 2004 team is great example on how to build a successful college basketball team to do what every team and player thrives for, a national championship.
this years team has potential, but nowhere near this o4 team. Gordon and Okafor were more mature and talented than Price and Thabeet. The whole team was more solid. Josh Boone, Charlie Villanueva, Taliek Brown, Marcus Williams, Rashad Anderson, and Denham Brown. One of if not the best college basketball teams of all time IMO.
wow what a team .....great players in okafor and gordon ...great role players in boone villuneva williams brown and armstrong and great shooting from anderson...just crazy
That was the biggest beat down in a National Final game since Duke got clowned by UNLV in 1990. The final score was decieving, UConn was up 20-30 points most of the game, GT only cut the deficit to 9 by hitting some useless 3's in the last 2 minutes. That 2004 team was one of the best, hopefully next year UConn can get back to their fast breaking game again. Kemba save us!

Uconn is the best big east team evr, not the hoyas, not the golden eagles, not the orange, and not even the cardinals, but only the Uconn huskies (plus no other big east team has an awesome nickname)
duke is a perennial power, but look for uconn to go places in this tourney. 4th seed is well deserved and an acknowledgement by the selection comittee that uconn has potential. can calhoun get them to peak at the right time??
Duke are the Yankees of the NCAA...around every year enough to be an annoyance, but can't close it out. UConn's championships in '99 and '04...went through Duke both times, a team which I believe lost in the 1st round last year?? Sorry UConn's entire starting 5 got drafted in '06...4 in the 1st round. And 2 years later, still staring at a 3 or 4 seed. I'll take it
And I think you're giving Duke more credit than they deserve. The Yankees may not have won recently, but their history is far more impressive than Duke's.
2004 was a great year to be a UConn fan. First Divison I to have the men and women to win in the same year. Still get chills down my spine thinking about it
uconndude2004 shutup i love uconn but we suck this year we dont have anyone that really good...we are gonna at least be somewhat good but haha were not gonna make it to the champs.
Next year if we grab nate miles and some other recruts we can make heck all of our games this year we lost we lost fighting (execpt providece) we can make it and adreans commin around great thabeats playing great prices is playign great all we gotta do is get dyson to get his head out of his ass and get back to the way he was playign b4 this slump and all of them stay we have a shoot ....
Uconndude is right, we have all freshman and sophmores and one junior tht actually plays. If Dyson gets better, and Thabeet and Adrian improve, then we will be sick next year
yea that was a good game, but i think that uconn will be good this year too. with thabeet and adrien and dyson. i smell another nat'l championship upcomeing
I wish Thabeet had an once of talent in his body. I remember seeing him over the summer playing, and thinking "He doesn't look any better than last year!"
Give the kid a break. Okafor nad Armstrong weren't too great starting out. Remember Donny Marshall. He took 2 years to blossom. Being tall isn't a gaurantee to greatness. Center is tough to learn.
UConn Alum here!! Class of '04....what a way to go out. Probably one of the greatest moments of my life, and this video couldn't make me feel any better. Where ever this came from...thank you!!!
Before 2005, UConn mens team used to only be able to get the sub-par players while Duke or NC were loaded with NBA caliber recruits. In 2004 Calhoun had only two McDonald All-Americans and the entire Duke roster was filled them. So what does that say?
this is the best video ever, for those of us that were at uconn when we won the championship this video brings back great memories. it sends chills up my spine just watching it.
i love the music too, i could watch this video all day long.
This was an awesome championship for UConn. I like this one best because I picked them in the beggining to go all the way. The game with Duke was electrifying. Great music video......Okafor got 1......just 1.......thats all he needed.
Well, maybe you can make a cool highlight film of that and put it up on Youtube!
Until then, I'll be content with the ones from UConn's two championships, both coming in the last 7 years. Maybe if Villanova wins another one sometime in the next decade or two, you can do the same!
Are you serious? Name a significant win Nova has had since 1985! We've got you beat in everything except tournament appearances (and that's because you were good in the 20's and 30's). Ever heard of Ray Allen? Emeka Okafor? Rip Hamilton? Caron Butler? Ben Gordon? Cliff Robinson? I could go on and on. And you guys were supposed to be so good this year...9-7 in the Big East! You finished 3 games ahead of us, and we flat-out sucked! Oh yeah, and the women...LOL, don't even get me started. Loser.

Win a title sometime this century - then maybe you can talk shit about basketball. 1985 might as well have been 100 years ago at this point.
