The 86-87 team finished 9-19.  Cliff Robinson and Phil Gamble were sophomores Tate George and Steve Pikiell were freshman.  I remember rooting hard for this team.  A majority of their losses were bad.  Their heralded recruiting class the next year Lyman DePriest and Murray Williams.  Not to be confused with a KU or Duke or Carolina recruiting class That team finished 20-14 and won their last 2 games against BC and Ohio St to win the NIT.  We drove around the neighborhood screaming at everyone we saw Uconn won the NIT!!  Laying on the horn waking up the old folks drinking Budweiser beer and smoking Marlboro reds.  I can’t remember my group of friends laying into that 9-19 team the way this current team is getting ripped.  It’s not like this team should finish 25-5.  They aren’t that good.  I’m pretty sure they know it.  Neither was the 86 team.  Houston was a blowout loss last year so was Florida Xavier IU and Villanova.  Thats a 15 - 20 point differential.  I’m trying to be positive from now on.  Crack open a cold one.  Smoke em if you got them.  Maybe we can enjoy our team a little better going forward.

p.s.  Every walkons dream is the final shot.  Why are we trying to take that away from the kid?
