People keep mentioning Rash, and he's a nice choice... But he wasn't even the 6th man on the 1999 team.  That was Mouring who has not been mentioned yet.  7ppg off the bench and frequent dagger three's.  Definitely deserves a mention.

I'm glad someone mentioned Brian Fair.  He had such an interesting four years here.  He was the 6th man his frosh, junior, and senior years and one of our leading scorers as a soph.  He is the author of one of the truly WTF plays in UConn history with his beautiful header/through pass to Joey Brown for a game winning layup and had a ton of dagger 3's.

What's more interesting to me and I tried to verify this but was unable to, is that he killed it when JC was either ejected or sick.  I remember multiple times where JC was out and Fair would drop 20+ off the bench with Howie in charge.  I know Fair planned to transfer, but did not, and his minutes dwindled.  I think he scored like 7-8 ppg in like 11 minutes off the bench one year as JC seemed to have lost faith in him.
