When Cincinnati's Kevin Johnson hit a 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds left in triple overtime, it looked like UConn's season was just about over. The 2016 UConn men's basketball team entered the 2016 American Athletic Conference Tournament needing at least a couple of wins to get into NCAA Tournament consideration and a loss to Cincy in the quarterfinals would have likely been the nail in the coffin.

Instead, Jalen Adams hit the most preposterous shot in UConn history to force quadruple overtime, setting the stage for UConn's stunning win and its eventual AAC Tournament championship.

Tim Fontenault is back to reflect on this UConn classic, how we reacted to Adams' full-court heave in the moment and where this game ranks in the pantheon of all-time great UConn moments.
