Best lefties in uconn basketball history

[10TOES]

Is his baseball dream over? Shouldn't he be in spring training with the Blue Jays organization?

He was in a walking boot

Jeff King!

 

[joober jones]

I'll never forget when he started out that one season something like 0-18. I think one of the announcers said it would be better if he never made a shot because .000 looked better than what his percentage would look like after he made one.

I burned myself by spilling soup during that game. Manhattan clam chowder.

Ah, my kinda thread.

Me too kid, me too, lefty Js unite.

I loved Marcus Williams, Lyman Depriest and Jeff King for different reasons. But my all time favorite was Jimmy Foster. I know this is old school. But in his time, he was so much better then anyone else on the court. He was electric to watch

Lyman DePriest for me

Edit: damn, forgot Jeff King

watching Antoine Anderson this season got me to thinking of uconn lefties.
I will start with Dom Perno, Al Vaughn,Larry Blutcher, johnnie Selvie, Antric Klaibor, and one of my favorites Jimmy Foster . Was at the NIT game at MSG where Uconn upset St Johns and Foster went off for 26. That game pretty much got him an ABA contract.

I'm with Dom Perno. He was an in-state kid who was a decent scorer and was terrific on defense. He stole the ball from Bill Bradley to seal the win against Princeton in the NCAAs.

Lyman DePriest for me

Edit: damn, forgot Jeff King

Ditto Lyman - only UConn game jersey I've ever owned.
I we sure Jeff King was lefty, I don't remember that and he dated a girl that lived on my floor!?
I can't believe it took almost an entire page for a picture of Selvie. I clicked on the thread thinking it was nothing but an excuse for some Selvie love.

Unless I missed the joke, which I often do, neither were lefties... So. No. And the answer is still and always will be Johnnie Time.

Wasn’t Doron Sheffer a lefty?
If so, he’d probably be a top 5

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Was Hrubala a lefty?

It took awhile mau but someone who saw him play just texted me that yes, he was a lefty.

No.

That’s funny because I always think of KO as a lefty as well. He dribbled predominantly with his left hand but shot right handed.
