A year ago today, the University of Connecticut was on the court for perhaps the greatest basketball game in Big East history. What began as a quarterfinal game against Syracuse in the Big East Tournament ended up as the longest game in Big East history, and the second longest game in NCAA history. Connecticut and Syracuse battled for six overtimes - 70 minutes of action. Although the Huskies never fell behind during the first five overtimes, Syracuse was able to take the lead and earn the 127-117 6OT victory.

This year's Big East Tournament ended earlier for the Huskies, after a first-round defeat at the hands of St. John's. When Connecticut stepped between the lines in Madison Square Garden, the Huskies wore a unique NIKEiD Hyperdunk.
