Terribly tough trivia question for Houston game

[DobbsRover2]

UConn is I think having a first-ever game with a team for the sixth time this season, with St. Bonny, UC-Davis, Oregon, UCF, Memphis, and Houston on the list through tonight and SMU still to come. In Jim Fuller's CT Post capsule for the matchup tonight, he noted that UConn has won 75 straight games against first-time opponents (I believe the total number of different teams played since 1974 will be about 160 by the end of the season).

Jim didn't mention who it was that's the lowdown, dagnabit, thumbsucking, varmitty team we love to hate and that last beat UConn on a first meeting, but any guesses? And don't worry, if I'm reading the records right and have identified the culprit, it's a team we've loved much more in their next three encounters with UConn.

No real idea, but I'm guessing Vandy.

Very close, but that's about four years too early. But getting semi-hot. About a week short of 18 years ago.

Looks like Georgia in 1996 is it.

It's on your mind. And Bulldogs it is.

UConn won the second matchup a year later by 32 and the third in Nov. 2000 by 29. The last match was the 2 point win in the 2006 tourney.
