Khalid got a little his last year too. We struggled a bit that year. Got boat raced at Michigan State (down something like 46-17 at the half). There was some thought that he couldn’t really be the lead dog and needed Rip. His ankle sprain hurt a chance to maybe make a deeper run.

I’ve always said that Bazz’s legacy was largely saved by Brimah. We would have had two first round losses with him as the starting PG - getting crushed by Iowa State and losing to St. Joe’s when he was around 4-15 and dribbled off his leg out of bounds down the stretch (and missed the layup that Brimah put back). He got a second chance - had a great overtime, buried Nova and the rest is history.

Khalid had the second chance too after the 0-12 against Gonzaga. That was the most pressure packed game in UConn history and he laid an egg. Dribbled off his leg and out of bounds down the stretch too. That would be more famous than the Donyell missed foul shots.
