Love seeing my favorite husky of all time back in Storrs. Hope the press takes note of his visit.

I've always loved that guy in the white jacket.

When I looked up the saying "He was beside himself" in the dictionary, this .gif picture appeared.
Ha ha, you know he wants to keep yelling stuff but his self-preservation urge kicked in.

I think the "Old field house" the poster is referring to is the old Fitzgerald Fieldhouse in Pittsburgh where that game was played. I wasn't there for that game but I did see UConn play there and it was one of the better college atmospheres I've ever seen.

Yes my bad , that was confusing I guess
Fitzgerald Fieldhouse
I think I was one of maybe 10 UConn fans in that place
I had to contain myself as we made the comeback or I would have been mauled

You didn't do anything wrong.

Or as Khalid called it in the moment that picture was taken “your raggedy ass gym.”

What a memory!

And I appreciate your clarification for the benefit of anybody who was confused, uncertain, or too young to remember it and has only heard of UConn's Greer Field House.

My parents met at Pitt. I was born in Pittsburgh. My dad was born in Hartford, and World War II interrupted his studies at UConn that began in 1939.

I was raised as a Pitt football fan and a UConn basketball fan, attending my first Husky games 60 years ago in what I'll always first think of as "the Field House."

My dad died in late December 1997, only seeing Khalid's earliest games. He was a quiet, steady guy who didn't generally take to bravado, but he instantly saw that KEA was special, and liked him a lot. I'm sorry that he never saw just how special, and never saw a UConn Final 4. I can only imagine what his reaction would be to a jump onto the scorer's table after an amazing win.

I like to think your dad saw it perfectly. What’s heaven without the things you love?

That's a very nice thought that I'll enjoy sharing with my younger sister, to whom I send recruiting & other Boneyard links, and watch broadcasts & game-txt, including full-season WBB since Paige. Dad remains a presence throughout.

KEA could break ankles without putting the ball on the floor.

They gave KEA so much crap during that game…his reaction at the end was sooo perfect!!
