Old UConn Clips

[Tommyboy]

Was cleaning my home office today and found an old DVD of UConn clips from 82-96. Completely forgot where I got it from. Gonna try and get the whole thing on Youtube (its around 2 hours), but my initial pass was almost 8GB. Need to rethink the output format and possibly split it up.

But split out this brief clip that has some cool moments.

Enjoy.

Did you have to use the word 'old'? That play at 2:00 was the best steal in the history of college basketball. Thanks Man!

I had forgotten DePriest's offensive game. Thanks for posting that was interesting.

I love that steal.

And to think that was manchild Rodney Rogers that Burrell leap frogged over , not some 5'-10" PG. Amazing.

Great stuff!
Seller's elbow shiv to Laettner's head never gets old!

Love how the Duke guys back up Laettner... Wow, if that happened to one of our players the perp would be in a world of hurt.

That play is still the one instance I overlook sportsmanship and common decency in appreciation of the situation.

I'd excoriate players for pulling stuff like that in other situations, but against Laettner (and Duke), I still give 99% approval. Maybe 100%. I really despised Laettner at the time.

How often did you ever see Lyman shoot a corner jumper? Almost never. So some years after he graduated, I got to assistant coach him in a benefit game (I use the word "coach" lightly). He drilled one corner jumper after another. I asked him why he didn't shoot many more of them for UConn. His reply, every time he shot one during practice, this loud Boston-accented voice would yell, "You, get off the court." Now I don't know how consistent he would have been against good defenders, but he showed an eye that didn't show much during his UConn career and made me wonder why JC limited his role on O. Yeah, he played with guys like Smitty and Burrell, but what's wrong with another scoring option.? Real good guy, BTW.
