Hey Guys,

I know that most of you never saw my old friend, the late great Bill Corley play in person for the Huskies. But in '68, Bill established the all-time single game UConn scoring record with 51 points vs. New Hampshire. I think he missed only one shot that night & also grabbed over 20 rebounds as well. It was an amazing all-around performance worthy of mention here.

Bill was an exceptional human being who could also jump out of the Field House - as one of UConn's first real leapers. He average 21.1 ppg. & 17 rebounds his senior year without being a selfish player. And remained a humble, great guy.

I was a teammate of his playing in the NYC & Eastern leagues of the late 60's. So I saw how just incredible Bill played all the time back then. And I saw that aforementioned historic NH game as well.

All these memories here make me so proud of the SUPREME basketball program that has been built through many era's up at Storrs. Championships built on the shoulders of great players & people like Bill Corley. We've been very good for a long time now friends.

Great memories!
