Tremont Waters is so good that he gets mentioned twice!

It should be a great game between two top teams.

If he plays at UConn that will be a foul on him for not getting out of the way of opponents forearm shove.

Scott Burrell is from Hamden. Does that count as New Haven?

Scott was born in New Haven, and raised in Hamden... I take "out of New Haven" though with a liberal amount of belief.

John Williamson, Soup Campbell, Mickey Heard, John Thomas, Tharon Mayes so many others. Back in the day Wilbur Cross, Hillhouse and Lee were loaded.

As someone who was a fan of the Dr. J era Nets, Super John could ball.

Was he born in New Haven because that’s where the hospital is or did his parents live in New Haven when he was born? If it’s the latter then when did he move to Hamden?

Unsure - we were both student athletes more or less the same years, but I did not know him. Just knew he was born in New Haven as sometimes coaches would give us UConn-wide stats on where athletes were "from" but to say if Coach Marshall had anything more than a name and a location would be stretching it.

not really just an error trying to multi-task at work!!!

As I remember I was watching a tournament game live years back and the program said this kid from U of Iowa with last name Stokes came from New Haven. I also remember him playing in the NBA - cant recall his 1st name
