- Nobody gets the people going like Cardiac Kemba:
UConn has some memorable dunks in its history, but 1 that’s underrated is when Kemba picked Peyton Siva’s pocket so cleanly in the Big East ‘ship game in 2011 & threw it down at MSG which was packed w/ UConn fans. Kemba, MSG, & at that point the country went nuts after the dunk.

Every Memorial Day Since 2017, UConn men’s track and field has hosted The Kyle Milliken Memorial Run to honor a former member turned Navy Seal who tragically lost his life in service to our country. While COVID-19 precautions have eliminated the typical in-person option for this year’s event, the team has planned a virtual version and will be hosting The Kyle Milliken Memorial Virtual Run on Monday, November 11.
