I vote for #2.

#5

I'll go with #3. The defensive stop plus the fastbreak lay-in was an amazing combo.

#3 for me. Give Lyles credit for that play though. I think I was there for 5 of these.

 

One of my favorite moments was senior night for Ivey. He got a steal at half court that led to a wide open dunk.

#8 is underrated. Just the fact that the next week the world shut down gives it extra aura. 

Honorable mention for me is 2022 regular season against WMU at the Jar, 10 point comeback in final 2 minutes
