for whatever reason, the sid wilson corner three against wichita is the uconn play i most associate with gillen. i actually enjoy him as a commentator, but this call is really silly haha.
Thanks for posting.
I'd forgotten that I'd never gotten around to seeing that.
My friend, who was stationed in Puerto Rico and working a longterm post-Hurricane Maria assignment for FEMA, recruited me to chaperone his son's travel from CT for a visit. The afternoon of the Wichita St game, he wanted to take us to Old San Juan, so I had to miss watching the game, but I was keeping track of the play-by-play on a sports score app.
During that week there were something like 60 earthquakes on the south side of the island, and unceasing winds & dangerous riptides led to prohibitions that forbade anyone from entering the ocean every single day I was there. It was a ticket able offense to even be on the beach on some days.
My friend's apartment was direct waterfront, and much time was spent marooned on a balcony that overlooked vegetation and sand all the way down to a sea that looked as angry as an old man trying to send soup back at a deli.
Still, the trip was a good time, and now I've seen Sid's 3, w/Gillen's call. Hard to believe that was a mere 25 months ago, still in the American, with Gilbert, Vital, and Wilson, and 2 months away from the COVID post-season Cancellation as the team was finding itself.
PS - While I'm reminded of one thing, I've got another to mention. It's not worth in tracking down in the post about Coach K shutting down Amaker's interest in the Duke job ( or was it the Big East Hot Seat post?), to say that I wanted to Reply "Post/handle" when you suggested Yale's James Jones as a viable candidate for the anticipated opening for the Georgetown HC job.
