Jeremy Lamb’s Missed Dunk Encapsulated Connecticut’s 2012 NCAA Tournament Wonderfully

Jeremy Lamb doinked a windmill dunk, a fitting end to UConn’s 2012 campaign. The Huskies did not defend their title with much gusto, losing 77-64 in the first round to Iowa State. They are the first defending champion to fall in the first round since UCLA in 1996. Jim Calhoun falls to 16-2 in first round NCAA tournament games at Connecticut. With the postseason ban for 2012-13, this one may have been his last.

Assuming Calhoun walks, I’m interested to see if Omar Calhoun decommits and goes to Arizona or Carolina.

Can’t lie, kind of nice seeing the potential death of UConn basketball in front of our eyes.

I’ve let me feelings know about UConn this whole season. The Big East’s showing in the opening round of the Tournament was craptacular!!!

This is why I love when people highlight stupid dunks. Keep it up, you can make a DVD highlight reel and watch it while your manning the drive through at McDonalds.

I’ll be shocked if Kevin Ollie can keep the ship afloat if Calhoun leaves. Or if they have the balls to go against Calhoun’s wishes and hire someone outside the program.

As for the BE being craptacular, they DID go 3-2.
