OT: First Place CCSU

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

I remember rooting hard for them in a 2-15 game against Iowa State. Nearly pulled it off

I was a student living on campus then. Me and my friends were pretty drunk for a noon/ early afternoon tip off. CCSU was up early, but unfortunately couldn't hang on. Good memories.

Fairfield played UNC tough for +/-30 minutes in a 2-15 game in the 1997 NCAA tourney

That was a 1-16. Fairfield had a losing record. Would have been by far the biggest upset in NCAA history, and they came pretty close.

I clearly remember the game because my ex-wife (Fairfield '90) and I had very, very good seats for Phil Collins at MSG that night. We missed the opening song since we watched the game until the final buzzer at the Barney Stone, RIP to that bar, not so much the marriage

Blarney Stone around the Garden showcased corned beef being carved in the front window back in the late 60's and mostly shots at the bar.

Regular season finish in these lower tiered conferences means nothing. You don't win the conference tournament, you aren't making the NCAA Tournament.

Sellers was a miraculous hire.

CCSU (14-9, 8-2) hasn’t had a winning record in almost 15 years. They are a pretty fun team to watch.

Amos reminds me of Andre Jackson.

I was very impressed with Amos. Great size and athleticism with skill as well. A bit reckless on the court so he may need someone to reel him in some. He's got a covid year remaining, it would surprise me if he didn't move up a level for next year.

CCSU in first and has a huge match up tonight against Sacred Heart. Pat Sellers joined me to talk about the successful season so far and more

I know of at least one Blue Devil (the good kind) grad on the Boneyard, surprised he hasn't chimed in on this thread yet

The Fairfield U transfer is great too. Probably their best player

That team was legit. Rick Mickens, Corsley Edwards, and John Tice.

Tice was one tough dude.

I dapped up Mickens at Four Play (now The Bar) in celebration sometime between winning the NEC tourney and the ISU game.
