A Historical All-time blowout

[Chin Diesel]

Largest margin of victory between in-conference top 5 teams in last 20 years and fourth largest overall.

The crowd was ready to blow the roof off. We never even got the chance.

I would like to know at what point in the seasaon the other games were played. Quite often early in the years there are schools with high rankings that prove to be frauds by the time conference play begins. Once you hit the home stretch of February, rankings are pretty legitimate.

How did the winners do in the tournament in the same year?

Florida won. Zags and Kentucky made the NC game. Not bothering to look up how far the others went.

Only one game on the list is in conference. So assuming these are all early season games

That was my thought.

That’s AP top 5, not in-conference. Only Illinois - Michigan qualifies other than UConn - Marquette.

Right. Two teams, both in Top 5 nationally.

No one in the last 20 years has done to a conference member what UConn did today to Marquette.

I am not one to exagerate but this was the greatest regular season performance ever. And for those that say all big games should be at Gampel, i got to Hartford at 12:30 for a 3 pm game and the bars were over flowing. I loved it all.

I agree. There was another level in the building which we didn’t get to because the game was a blow out. Tremendous atmosphere nonetheless.

There was never really a spot where we lost it completely. Trust me, the crowd was there. It was amped and ready. But the blowout never gave us a shot to really let it rip.

It's an old past it's prime building that keeps getting lipstick put on it but it gets loud as hell for big games, always has. If you don't have an incredible time at those bars before and after the game and don't have an incredible time watching this team play there's something wrong with you. Crowd sounded and looked awesome on TV.
