Imagine those 2 as your backcourt for 4 years!!!!!!Maybe not Huskies of Honor worthy but would love to see plaques of 4 year guys like him and CV in the Gampel concourse.

The started out cocky, moved into concerned, but determined… then they were terrified, and at the end they were just defeated and resigned. It was a thing of beauty.Absolutely! Ive never seen guys get in opposing players heads like Boat and Bazz did to the Harrison twins. Those kids were terrified. It was a total smackdown.
One of my favorite Boatright moments
If SMU didn’t take his legs out early in that AAC title game we probably win and possibly make a little run. Team was okay but disfunctional. Facey, Purvis, Boat, Brimah, Omar. Not a bad squadSr. Year Boat just needed one more dawg (wish deandre stayed haha) for his own long tourney run cause the boy was nasty. I’ll never forget his freshman year icing the game at the line vs Florida St. i was like yea he is big time
Iirc i think at one point one of the harrison twins was bringing the ball up and Boat went to meet him at halfcourt and he just panicked and turned it over. lol!The started out cocky, moved into concerned, but determined… then they were terrified, and at the end they were just defeated and resigned.

Facey to me was impressive his Sr. yearIf SMU didn’t take his legs out early in that AAC title game we probably win and possibly make a little run. Team was okay but disfunctional. Facey, Purvis, Boat, Brimah, Omar. Not a bad squad
Bleed Blue!Awesome. Love this. It's part of being at a program like UConn.
What do I remember the most from Boat? Simple how much he drove Wilbekin, Hill and the Harrison twins insane at the FF. They were terrified to dribble the ball as were the MSU Spartan guards at the MSG final. He jumped it up to a "Mooresque" level come tourney time. Tremendous!
Appling really never the same againThis, Mau... Boat straight up RUINED those guards - Wilbekin and Appling, especially. Both those guys were totally exposed and embarrassed on a huge stage.
Post/handle/avatar!Always loved me some Boat.
Beyond worthy. We don't win #4 without the boat.Maybe not Huskies of Honor worthy but...
Agree 100%, Rich. It took too long to get Khalid up there.Beyond worthy. We don't win #4 without the boat.
This.The definition of toughness
You have to have at least one of those types shutting them down to win championships. Their performances are seared in our memories.Boat and the water bug Ricky...pure bad ass on the ball defenders!
True in 1999 and 2014, but not necessarily true in 2004 and 2011, unless I am misremembering.You have to have at least one of those types shutting them down to win championships. Their performances are seared in our memories.
2011 it was Bazz. (AKA "the reach around bandit" - lol) 2004? Taliek, maybe? I don't remember him getting a lot of steals but he was a high energy guy.True in 1999 and 2014, but not necessarily true in 2004 and 2011, unless I am misremembering.
