Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4388851, member: 181"] 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.
