Remember when Shabazz Napier hit a nearly half-court 3-pointer to beat Villanova in overtime back in 2012? Crazy as it is to imagine, that happened nine years ago this week, and by taking (and making) that shot Napier established himself as the king of the 'no, no, no, YES!' shot.

There were many more to come afterwards, and by the 2014 NCAA championship run he made preposterous 3-pointers so often that nobody even batted an eye when he pulled up from the parking lot. But in this game? Napier hadn't proven himself in that way yet, and taking this shot in this situation took huge stones considering that coming in UConn had lost 7 of 9 and was starting to see its NCAA Tournament hopes starting to teeter.

Today Tim Fontenault is back to talk about Shabazz's shot, the pandemonium that ensued as a result at the Daily Campus office, and the game itself. We also talk a bit about UConn and Villanova's history, their trajectories before and since this game, and Saturday's matchup. Obviously we cover James Bouknight's return to the Huskies and the home stretch of this year's UConn season as well.
