Message: [QUOTE="HCCForever, post: 5195082, member: 8959"] I was fortunate to be at the Big East Tournament in 1981 in Syracuse. For the first three years, the BET was not held at MSG. Somehow, we had seats on the second row of the Carrier Dome. UConn was bounced early to Nova but we saw some great games and players. Players like Sleepy Floyd, Steward Granger, Chris Mullin, Billy Goodwin and John Pinone. I was impressed by Syracuse's Super Sophs Eric Santifer, Leo Rautins and Tony Bruin who could sky with the best of them. This was when UConn was still bad and before I developed my hatred for Syracuse. Syracuse beat Villanova in triple OT in the championship. And since this was prior to the automatic qualifier, Syracuse did not make the tourney and played in the NIT much to the surprise of the Syracuse fans. [/QUOTE]
