Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 3591102, member: 504"] Not sure about that. But I do recall Wes scored 40 and Lloyd 39. Wes owned the first half and Lloyd the second. Believe it or not, UConn fans haven’t typically been rah-rah except during games. Wes was in a class of mine at the time. The guy who taught the class, Louie Gerson was a big hoops fan. The class was in the big lecture hall in what we called the Social Sciences building and happened to be the morning after the game. Class had started and Wes came in a few minutes late. Gerson, still reliving the game, said something like “Amazing game Wes”. Total silence in the room. Gerson shrugged and said, “well, nice game Wes.” You had to be there.Pretty awkward. ETA: this spurred me to Google Gerson. I think I knew he had escaped the Holocaust. He lived until 2016, age 94. He outlived Wes. [/QUOTE]
