SVP doing a segment on this now.

By the way - that era of big shirts and amazing sneakers gives me SERIOUS nostalgia. I want to be back in 8th grade at that bball camp in July for a week.

I didnt see the Williams miss live. Like a fool I was screaming and running down the hall of my dorm. Celebrating Ray's basket. I'm not sure what was going through my head. I quite literally lost my mind.

You were screaming, "Don't mess with the Drunkyard Dogs!!!!!"

This may shock you, but I think at that point in life I had drank/drunk less than 5 beers. I probably didn't finish any of them.

My hysterical behavior did startle some of the girls on my floor.

How big was Kirk King and TK in that game. Wow. Can’t believe it was 25 years ago.

Ricky Moore as a freshman playing D on AI late was amazing too.

First two minutes of the highights show how good and versatile Travis Knight was for the Huskies. He had blocks on defense, rebound with nice outlet pass, hit a face up J from the FT line and slammed one home on the break. He was just a real good player who did exactly what those teams needed from a center.

Also, looking at the video, check it out around the 2:10 mark. Ricky has a real bad 3 from the corner and AI gets the ball and starts flying down the court. Ricky meets up with him by halfcourt and goes step by step with AI the rest of the way.

My roommates and I did a shot of C&C for every three pointer either Ray or AI made........I don’t remember leaving the house and walking to the Bidwell. But I did wake up with the bartender!

Winning.

This video gives you a bit more.....

Thanks for posting this. Great to relive this again. Garden was alive and loud that night. I only remember the nosie level being higher during Zeppelin concerts I saw there.

Truly one of the great moments in UConn history, and perhaps the best Big East matchup ever.
