Andrew Callahan, the New England Patriots beat writer for the Boston Herald and a former Daily Campus sportswriter, joins the show to discuss the epic 2010 showdown between UConn and No. 1 ranked Texas at Gampel Pavilion.

This game was a thrilling high in what was an otherwise disastrous season for the Huskies. Not long before this game, UConn had lost three straight and had fallen out of the Top 25. Not long after, UConn finished 18-16, had a wave of transfers and posted academic scores so bad that the program wound up getting banned from the postseason as a result in 2013. But on this one day, the Huskies lived up to their potential in an awesome showcase highlighted by Stanley Robinson's iconic half-court alley-oop dunk, a monster second-half comeback and the student section storming the court after the final buzzer.
