It is time to rejuvenate this phrase...

Welcome to Storrs - THE MECCA OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL!

Just had to say it.

Just when people say you can't, you can, and UConn has won the National Championship! (1999 NCAA Basketball Championship Game, Connecticut vs. Duke)

The mecca of college basketball is in Storrs, Connecticut! (2004 NCAA Tournament, as Emeka Okafor and the UCONN men joined the UCONN women as NCAA Champs)

Everyone talked about the dog fight coming in, right? Huskies and Bulldogs. But one thing was very clear tonight, here in Houston. Connecticut wins best in show! (UConn clinching the 2011 NCAA Tournament)

AHhhhh. I love that one. I wish I was around to hear this "live". What a great and original phrase. That one came out from the heart

I've always felt that phrasing was forced and lame. Nantz had plenty of time to think about what to say and its embarrassing for our University that that's all he came up with. Nantz should stick to golf and give his seat to Raffety.
