I've always loved that guy in the white jacket.
Ha ha, you know he wants to keep yelling stuff but his self-preservation urge kicked in.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.
I was in the building
So your a Pitt fan??I was in the building
One of the greatest atmospheres I’ve ever been in
Old field house, we were top 5 I believe
I remember seeing Khalid talking to the idiots under the basket before game
What a finish. Walked out with a smile
The main point of KEA’s post-game reaction was that it was in Pitt’s building! That’s what made Khalid’s reaction so ballsy! Not sure how anyone could have been “in the building”, especially that day, and forgotten which city they were in. Too many beers maybe!?! LOL.So your a Pitt fan??
Yes my bad , that was confusing I guessI 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.
You didn't do anything wrong.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
Or as Khalid called it in the moment that picture was taken “your raggedy ass gym.”I think the "Old field house" the poster is referring to is the old Fitzgerald Fieldhouse in Pittsburgh
What a memory!Yes my bad , that was confusing I guess

Totally! Dudes mouth was about to open and even the devil on his shoulder was like "...nope".Ha ha, you know he wants to keep yelling stuff but his self-preservation urge kicked in.
I like to think your dad saw it perfectly. What’s heaven without the things you love?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.

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.I like to think your dad saw it perfectly. What’s heaven without the things you love?
They gave KEA so much crap during that game…his reaction at the end was sooo perfect!!What a memory!
