Washington vs Uconn 2006 Sweet 16 NCAA Tournament

Despite many questionable calls, Washington found themselves up with under a minute to go in regulation. The Elite Eight was within grasp, but through a series of unfortunate events, the game was sent into overtime. While in OT, regardless of the fact that 4 out of the 5 UW starters had fouled out, Washington still had a chance to win. Were the referees fair? Did they affect the outcome of the game? You be the judge.

@EntangledBoJangle

Yeah, Go Cougs! Way to finish DEAD LAST in both football and basketball. Can't wait until we kick you out of the Pac-10.

im looking for revenge this year for this terribly called game

[godawgs06]

No kidding, but have some work to do before we get there. I really want to add a video of UW breaking UConn's heart.

This boner (godawgs06) is still complaining about this game?

Washington blew the lead. A dumb foul against Marcus Williams and incredible clutch shooting.

Washington-UConn in the Sweet 16 is a possiblility again this season. Lastest projections is UConn 1 and UW 4 in the Boston Regional. A very pro Huskie crowd. All UConn has to do is beat Pittsburgh and win the Big East Tourney.

So it will be difficult.

What do you mean "still"? Should I retroactively update the description whenever my mood changes about the events that took place?

I am not worried about a pro Husky crowd (team nicknames aside), the same could have been said in 2006, and we played well enough to win. 80% of the crowd was backing up UW by the end of OT anyway.

i woke up my entire house when anderson hit that three....go UCONN

[youngmateo333]

that guy on Washington's bench jumping up and down like a little kid after Washington missed the regulation buzzer beater...you look like an idiot

[somethingorange]

Unreal. Brandon Roy deserved that game more than anyone.

Fuck you JENSEN

If this game had gone Washington's way, you likely would have never heard of George Mason.

Despite being a UCONN fan, I really despised that game, and that team's complete lack of hunger. This was probably the most talented UCONN team of recent memory (more than the 04 champs), but they never played it that way, and relied on last-minute plays, which was disappointing for a number 1 seed. The George Mason upset reminded me of their cavalier atttude to winning, and it shows as none of the players (except Rudy Gay) found success in the NBA. You gotta want it, and they didn't.

RASHAD!!

As usual the refs 'mysteriously' fail to make calls against the favored east-coast team and UW is screwed again! Great game to watch but heartbreaking end.

[LOLChris360]

WOULDA WON IF IT WASNT FOR JENSENS IDIOTIC FOUL WITH 10 SECS LEFT

[mrgoodlyfe1989]

I remember this game.....A great game by both teams but it was some questionable calls against the Huskies clutch situations.

[swingdocta]

great selfless pass by Marcus to rashad anderson
