The NCAA national championships are without doubt great games, but before them was one of the greatest games I ever attended which was the quarter finals of the 1988 NIT tournament played at the Field House in Storrs, the last big game ever played there. I believe the capacity was 4800 and 6200 fans were somehow squeezed in. The noise level was something I had never experienced before or after that game. It was impossible to hear what the person next to you was saying. UCONN was 4 and 12 in the Big East and 14 and 13 overall that year and probably the last selection for the NIT. Behind the energy of the crowd that night which literally shook the dust off the rafters of the field house creating an eerie mist like atmosphere inside, Cliff Robinson played perhaps the best game of his UCONN career leading the huskies to a win over Virginia Commonwealth.

Uconn of course went on to win the NIT that year with Phil Gamble having his greatest game in the final with the iconic photo of him and Jeff King sitting on the backboard at MSG .
