UConn 78-79 footage

[BCF]

Anyone know where I can find some footage of UConn from the 1978-79 season? I am not sure they filmed back then but I am hoping there is a game or two out there somewhere. Appreciate any help.

That was a 21-8 NCAA tourney team. Corny Thompson's freshman year.

Oh how Corny and Mike McKay got the fans excited for the future.

I remember it well - that was my Junior year.

The HCC was not standing at the time. But their big holiday tournament did feature future AAC foes Tulsa and E. Carolina.

You’re right. Must be getting my games mixed up.
