Fair enough.  Very surprising as [B]a[/B]) he has always dumped on UConn and [B]b[/B]) he played for Eddie Sutton at Oklahoma St.

I have a laundry list of him blasting UConn for about two decades.

Some of his best (paraphrasing):

I have relatives in Connecticut so my family knows the school well.  It's a safety school for kids that can't get into a safety school.

Jim Calhoun tried recruiting me out of high school and continued coming after me after I told him I would never play there.  He told me I was the best point guard out there and that he would be the most important player on the team from day one (same recruiting class as Ricky Moore so he would have played one year with Ray).  I told him I couldn't do it to myself and I couldn't do it to my family (attend UConn).

He picked against UConn in every tournament game played in each of our last two national titles (and was adamant that we couldn't win prior to each game).

He has fabricated most of the negative comments and for whatever reason has an enormous anti-UConn chip on his shoulder.
