Show notes

Longtime UConn men's basketball beat writer Ken Davis joins the show to discuss one of the most iconic matchups in college basketball history, Ray Allen vs. Allen Iverson in the 1996 Big East Tournament Final.

Coming into the game both Ray Allen's UConn team and Allen Iverson's Georgetown team were ranked in the top 10 nationally and each player was considered a National Player of the Year candidate. UConn was in search of its first Big East Tournament title since 1990, and despite having already established itself as a national power, the Huskies were still out to prove themselves against a blue blood like Georgetown. The game more than lived up to the hype, and Ray Allen's winner with 13 seconds left remains one of the greatest in college basketball history.
