Indiana MSG roll call

[Calhoun's Court]

Me +1

Nice stand. Was that the Syracuse game by any chance? I don't remember many UConn games there but I remember that game.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I don't remember, but I feel like it might've been Boston College. I can always ask the girl that I was with. We've been married 34 years.

I remember going to a Connecticut game at the New Haven Coliseum with a girl I just started dating. As we're walking in she said to me "Just to make it fun I'll root for the other team since I know you're rooting for Connecticut." I looked at her and said "No, you won't, at least, not if you're planning on getting a ride home with me." Sometimes, you just have to take a stand early.

I brought my wife to the Witchita State game at XL during the KO era. She bet the Shockers and cheered for them all game. Forget coming to a game, she hasn't been INVITED since. Still married, still love her, but that's a line you don't cross with me.

We did play BC in NH when the Civic Center was being repaired. There were a couple other games played there but the BC game is the only one I attended

The night of the snow storm in New Haven against the John Bagley BC team, where we won easily in front of no more than 1500 people (the tickets were sold but the weather kept folks away)? I was there that night.

UConn lost to Fairfield at the Coliseum in December, 1982. I was there, thank god for the $2 beers (maybe they were $1.50)

 

[UConn Esq]

Row 18!

Seats 3 and 4! See ya there!

I forgot about all those games in New Haven. I remember the 78-59 victory against Syracuse in 1981. I had to look up the details but Hobbs had a good game. Syracuse had the super sophs Rautins, Santifer and Tony Bruin who could sky. Marty Headd played as well and then broke his leg sometime during the season. That was a big win for UConn so many years ago.

I was there as well. That was depressing. Of course, the entire Earl Kelly era was depressing.

Looks like all of the Castle injury threads are closed for replies...but he's out for MSG games this weekend and a few weeks after that.

Is there a reported source for this?

No. My guess is soon though

Oh there were some highlights. The first three years in the Big East we were competitive, maybe a game above 500, in what was a very tough conference. We were also ranked in the top 20 in either the 81–82 season, or the 80–81 season.

Perno was neither a great game coach nor a master at taking his talent and figuring out how the team should play to get the most of it but credit where credit was due -- he was able to bring in his share of good players.

Section 6, +1!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I'll be there +1!

Honestly, I wish Louisville wasn't the 4th team. Not even certain I'll stick around for the entirety of the second game.

McKay, Thompson, and Aleksinas was a very good front court. You have to wonder what they would've done with better coaching.
