UConn's 1990 Sweet Sixteen Miracle Shot

0:00Yukon basketball fans still talk about March 22, 1990, when the men's team edged Clemson 71-70 in the suite. 16. That buzzer beaters shot by Tade George marked a turning point for the program, propelling them toward blue blood status. The 1989-90 season was a dream run for Jim Calhoun's Huskies. Fresh off their first Big E's title, they earned a number one seed and cruised to early tournament games in Hartford, winning by 44. Quince combined over Boston University and California. Down by one with just one second left at Brendan Bernerina in New Jersey, Scott Borrell launched a full-core pass that found Tade George perfectly. He caught it and fired a game winner, sending Yukon to the regional final. Coach Calhoun called it the highest he'd ever jumped, and the next day's headline captured the magic perfectly. Though they fell to Duke two days later, that victory ignited the spark for future championships. When we count down to this year's final fours, these archive moments remind us why Yukon Hoops creates such lasting thrills.
