The link is to Carl's lengthy article on...among other things....the return of UConn playing a bigtime opponent
on MLK day.   IMO...too bad the game this coming season is at Texas.  Hopefully that MLK game will be in Ct. during the 2018-2019 season.

I have heard Geno often say that the atmosphere for the first of these games...against LadyVol in 1995...was THE best ever in Gampel.   There were national-level sportswriters on press row for the match between 2 undefeated teams...the AP vote for the weekly rankings was delayed one day so the voters could take this game into account....cool!

I was fortunate enough to be there.  Hmmm...the final was 77-66.  I think it was 42-34 for the good guys at the half...I remember leaving where we were sitting and tracking down some UConn fan friends to hear that pretty much all of 'em were a weird combo of confident and apprehensive.
