Message: [QUOTE="Watchdog, post: 3848405, member: 10325"] My wife and I lived in Central NY at the time and went to that game...........probably the only UConn fans there as far as we could tell. Sat a few rows behind the UConn bench and got lots of nasty looks as we cheered for the good guys. The crowd was so incensed near the end of the game someone threw a cup of ice on the floor towards the free throw line where a UConn player (Hanson I think) was about to seal the win. Ugly fans, but can you blame them when it's so desolate there from November to April and there's nothing else to cheer for? Their fans were pretty arrogant at the Big East tournament for the first 10-12 years until 1990 when UConn began to own the tournament. [/QUOTE]
