I was in East for only one semester but remember seeing him in the cafe all the time. This sucks.

Wow. I always had a soft spot for Cup. I wanted to believe that he was a Khalid-type player, before Khalid of course. Alas I was wrong.

RIP way too young

RIP Cup

Sonofabitch!!!

I still can see his funky start to driving to the basket. Didn't he bring the ball up high as he started the move? Was oddly eye-opening.

He had crazy ups.... unreal athlete. RIP.

 

[Thirty Three]

[ZenConn]

That is some article, especially with JC's quotes about Cup's greater overall talent than KO and his outstanding athletic ability, plus suggestions about recruiting Doron as his replacement.

RIP Cupp.

46 years old, way too young. Remember trying to copy his moves as a kid, also one of the greatest nicknames.

Bummer. I liked Cup. For those too young to have seen him play; he was like a Tasmanian devil with the ball. Quick as lightening. Unfortunately, he also had the handle/ball control of a wild marsupial (not much). There was an equal chance of a highlight reel drive to the hoop, turnover, step out of bounds or a travel every time he touched the ball. He played at a different speed than everyone else but never figured out how to harness that talent. RIP Cup.

RIP Husky.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Wow! RIP

 

[mauconnfan]

First time I saw Cup was at the Springfield CC in the HOF Game vs Glen Robinson and Purdue I believe. Flashy kid with some game. Once again way too young RIP Cup

 

[3rdbass]

Rip Cup. I will always remember his tremendous ups!

So, so sorry to hear this. Way, way to soon.

Spot on. I feel like you were standing next to me watching him play because I remember my friends and I having that exact conversation. I always wanted to believe that he would put it all together and be the magician he suggested he could be; most others gave up on that hope before I did.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

Terrible news. Way too young.
RIP Cup

He was on the team for the first season in which I lived in CT and that 92-93 squad will always have a place in my heart. RIP Cup & Tony - what a tragic week for UConn basketball.
