It was done by a Georgetown alum and they went well past the era of UConn's ascension and they somehow managed to completely ignore UConn. It wasn't an 80s only thing.
That doesn’t erase the fact that Big East basketball was much watch tv when UConn wasn’t relevant. So we had a few shining moments against Duke in the early 90s tourney but it would another decade before we won a title.
???
Sounds like FearThePups is a pup himself. We dominated the Big East in the 90's. The omission of UConn was intentional and absurd.
And a Duke's worth of NCs since then.
We were a top 2 seed 6 times in the 90s.
He really gave away his age with that nonsense he spewed. "we had a few shinning moments vs duke in the early 90s? We played them in 90 and 91 and lost both times.
No question.
It really sucked. All about cuse and gtown. Calhoun got like 2 soundbites. Really pissed me off at the time. Insult to injury.
It really was not a complete documentary. By the time they did that documentary Georgetown was mostly irrelevant.
And I believe at the time UConn was tied with Cuse for the most regular season titles AND with gtown for most conference tourney titles yet they treated us like we were BC.
We have to cede the 2010s to Nova, but UConn is the Big East team of the 2020s already.
Some of you people are so sensitive. The documentary was about the inception of the Big East and the established basketball schools at that time and UConn wasn’t one of them. And no, I’m not a pup and recall we played in the mighty Yankee conference before the invite to the old Big East. The documentary didn’t go past the 1990 and 1991 seasons, which was before our successes you mentioned above
And how many national titles?
It’s a sensitive subject!
And how many titles during that time? Zero
That's not even what the documentary says it was.
Yeah, to the same Duke team in the 1990 championship final and the 1991 Duke national championship team. Those were pinnacle accomplishments for our program at that time. Why do so many of you have an inferiority complex because you still think to this day we were disrespected back then when we had won nothing.
If they were going for accuracy, they should have titled it "Requiem for the Georgetown/Syracuse Rivalry."
true, but the documentary didn’t cover the late 1990s to present day except for a bit on how football ruined the basketball conference.
And if Rutgers came instead of Seton Hall. Didn't they turn down an invitation?
How many did Syracuse win during the time period covered by this documentary? Zero. Georgetown only one.
