Back in the Day!!

[Final41999]

Been a die hard UConn fan since Murray Williams drove the length of the court and beat Villanova. Was 36 rows from the floor and saw them win the title in 99. Been through the good and the bad with the dogs and I always will. Bottom line is that UConn was always the BULLY, Always physical, just relentless. For many reasons we are a mess and it’s so hard to watch. We do not have those types of kids on this team overall. We get manhandled in games. The days of Rod Sellers throwing a bow, or just getting in peoples grills are long gone. I really hope it changes sooner than later.

I don't go that far back, but can you imagine these teams in the OBE against bruising teams like Pitt and ND? Even BC's Curley would push them off the court.

No I cannot imagine it. That league was brutal. You had to come ready to every night or you got embarrassed.

I can remember how Hasheem Tabeet got destroyed by Juan Blair of Pitt and Tabeet was a very good player

Remember being proud of the 96/97 team of mostly freshmen. They didn’t win many games that year. Voskul didn’t back down to senior Pollard of KU. Miss that.
