Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 3580926, member: 1609"] My feeling is UConn basketball originally ascended st the wrong time . UConn first NCAA was the ill fated 1950 scandal Riddled Tourney Not only UConn but Eastern Basketball withdrew from the National scene until Dave Gavitt’s vision rescued it. It’s the foundation that Greer laid that got us into the Big East No Big East no Calhoun. PS the 1954 Holy Cross team won the NIT which really ment something in those days. They also had Togo Palazzi ( NIT MVP) and Tom Heinsohn both former Celtics .We beat them at Worcester something that rarely happened. [/QUOTE]
