Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2207469, member: 1526"] So many to choose from it's almost impossible. The first NC was amazing, especially in person, with two Puke fans sitting right behind us in the UConn section, for some unknown reason. I'm gonna go old school and pick a couple from the 1970's. Jimmy Foster's 27 point performance at MSG in 1974 on St. Patrick's Day to beat heavily favored St. John's 82-70 in the NIT, and the 1976 ECAC New England Championship game at the old Springfield Civic Center, when we beat a Joey Hassett led Pee Cee 87-73 to win the title and get the automatic bid to the NCAAs. That win over the Friars was a forerunner of the changing of the guard in New England basketball. Up until then it had been all PC for many years. After that we were back on the New England map, and except for their unlikely Final Four appearance in 1987, it's been mostly all UCONN ever since. 4 > 0 in NCAA titles says it all. [/QUOTE]
