Best Opposing Players UConn faced when in Yankee Conference

House of Horrors. Lost to Fairfield at the Coliseum in 83 or 84. Great place to see the GD or WWWF, not so much for UC

Except for the time we sitting right behind the hoop for a BC game. Michael Adams came flying into us after getting clobbered on a drive. My friend loses half his beer and says something to Adams. Adams said "Screw you". Except he didn't say screw. The buddy says (wisely) retorts "Your mother!" Adams was not happy. He goes to the foul line glaring at my friend the entire time and proclaiming how bad he is going to kick his ass after the game. Swished both. We left early.

Saw the name, King Gaskins from Holy Cross, mentioned earlier. King ended his career at my school (South Alabama), playing for Cliff Ellis. He came to us via a junior college after leaving Holy Cross. I was friends with most of the basketball players at that time and King fit right in even though he was a Boston native living in Mobile, Ala. He still had game as he was the MVP of a Christmas tournament and was the best player on the court for either team. He left the team right after that tournament and there were a lot of theories, but Ellis never divulged the real reason.
