PC fans, do you notice there are no UConn-PC games on that list or on the honorable mentions list? You know why? Because PC and UConn have never been really good at the same time (mostly PC's fault ). This is why in one of those other threads a couple months ago I tried to explain that UConn-PC can't really be a rivalry until both teams are very good and they play in important games. And each team wins their fair share of those games.
When we were both in the BE before did you consider it a rivalry? I never did.True, sort of. It’s still a rivalry. The games are tough and PC fans are hilarious Italian/Irish characters that clearly didn’t go to PC. I love the atmosphere there and the games in CT are always battles.
You are not old. I remember watching Dan Hesford - The Spideruconn -pitt imo
and i’m old. i hung out in a dorm with donyell
Speaking of which, the other one I would maybe put up here as an honorable mention would be the UConn/Pitt game when El Amin jumped on the scorer’s table after the game ended...a classic!All great games even though we lost a couple of those. I miss the UConn-Pitt games. That was a fun rivalry. It seemed like we played so many high stakes games vs Pitt. The 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2011 Big East Tournament games are the obvious ones that come to mind. 2003 was bad, and I remember being so dejected after that one, but they always played us tough, and thats what made those games so great.
Hmmm. I gotta put UConn/G’town from 1990 at Civic Center. That was our coming out party
Felt that same way while making the list, I really like that ideaNice list but it's kind of cheating mixing BET games with regular season games. I'd love to see a list of only regular season games

Loudest ever there
Dan's son and mine went through the Clinton school system together and played on the same Little League team. Spider and I coached it. Now THAT'S old!You are not old. I remember watching Dan Hesford - The Spider
You remember correctly.If I recall correctly, the Pitt fans taunted Khalid unmercifully throughout that game. The final moments were especially redeeming for him.

Wes B., Penders, Holowaty all in my class Hesford was a piece of work. He lived in the Towers where I lived. He was fun to watch. Had an occasional big scoring game but he was the ace defender. He had the perfect nickname. He’s the one player I can think of who could seem to move in 3 directions at once on D.You are not old. I remember watching Dan Hesford - The Spider
Nice. He is one of my all time favorites. Nobody played harder.Dan's son and mine went through the Clinton school system together and played on the same Little League team. Spider and I coached it. Now THAT'S old!
