Has any mentioned the Microwave?

Chris Smith: The first, foundation
Tim Coles & Earl Kelley
Ray Broxton ( he could really hoop)
Rash Jones

I think ...

If you’re a young UCONN Husky fan, I wish you could have watched Joey Whelton, Al Weston & Lee Otis Wilson. Why? Gosh they were shooting the ball from way out - long before the 3 point line. And neither Whelton or Weston were of a size you’d see play for The University once we got to the Big East. I know they weren’t listed as 5-8; but they seemed that.
 
Henefeld was such a treat to watch. I'm sad for those who didn't get to see him play and that he didn't stay longer. One of those not athletically gifted players, but so basketball smart. I think he gets forgotten due to his short time here and not being in the US now, but he was so key in the full court press playing center field.
Corny gets forgotten as well. I saw him play as a kid, but don't remember much. He's a victim of time passing.
Chuck Aleksinas should be forgotten since it appears he does not recognize his playing days at UConn, only Kentucky. He's a persona non grata in my mind.

Chuck admitted he didn't play hard for UConn all the time because he was "saving his knees."

Chris Smith gets hardly any of the love he should get.

I did not give the above a like 1st pass because I was thinking he was properly remembered. But I had forgotten that he was responsible for the biggest, yet most forgotten play in program history. Duke has the ball up 3 with 17 seconds left. It's pretty much all Chris Smith from there.


(I always felt that Dick Stockton blew chunks, this clip is more proof)
