Happy new year!
We were witness to some spectacular moments in 2015. There were big games, big wins, trick plays and dunks. So very many dunks. With this in mind we turned to our friend Tom (@TCF_15 on twitter) and asked him to give us his favorite plays and moments of 2015.
Tom, of course, is the mind behind both @UConnGIFs and UConnHuskyGames.com — the greatest website in existence. So, clearly, he provided his moments in GIF and video form. Enjoy, and cheers.
Best plays (In no specific order)
