Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 2207501, member: 1609"] For those of tramatized by Christian Lattner shot in 1990.,when we were a Tate George deflection away from our first final four. Than suffered through a series of close misses in the 1990's even with all our success. Even with all the great players we had somehow managed to blow it in the Tourney.We had never even been to a FF And then there was 1998-99 We knew we could possibly be the best team in the country going into that year but our old nemesis Duke generated buzz as the greatest team in college basketball history. They were awfully good but not good enough. When that final whistle blew with us on top 77-74 it seemed if all those ghosts of bygone years were exorcized.. The feeling was like nothing I've ever experienced Yea I was there for Cuse ,GT wins that put us in the big time but it wasn't the same Nothing could ever be the same. Winning in 2014 was close , as we were a team written off as dead. Even if that was the last Hurrah of a UConn big time BB team at least we've had Hurrahs [/QUOTE]
