No question that UConn was considered chaff when added to the BE in 1979.
That's baloney. UConn was a promising team on the come when added to the BE in 1979. They were coming off an season that lead to a berth in the Big Dance and most of their best players were underclassmen. The Civic Center was newly rebuilt and UConn filled it for all of the Big East games. The last BET was in Hartford where the hopes were high for a good run. Everything was in place but a good coach.
