OT - Watching 1990 Elite 8 vs. Duke

That truly was the Team and group of guys who started it all...Chris Smith is a STUD and gets little credit now.

The whole State was electric during that first run.. Great times and great memories..

Thats how i got became a fan. I was in 7th grade and all my friends were buzzing about the big Uconn game and i asked wth was a yukon? lol! I believe it was the Gtown game that i tuned in for because i had to see what all the hoopla was about and ive been hooked ever since. I remember during the tournament the teachers actually brought in a couple of tvs and grouped a few classrooms together and we got to watch one or two of the tournament games. Great times and memories.

Chris Smith is a legend and very respected by all Uconn fans that got to see him play.

I think Murray Williams is the forgotten guy on that team. I believe he started. With Smitty, Tate, Lyman and all the new faces (Dove, Scotty, Toraino) I thnk Murray drops off the radar.
