My guess is halftime...could be wrong. They will probably run 2004-heavy videos on the big screen all day. Will be a fun one.

Ben Gordon being there is a major surprise. Really really hope things are going better for him.

And I'm a little surprised that Vaughn will be there too.

When you look at the roster, that team was freaking loaded.

Hilton can't make it as the Warriors have a home game that day. Where is Marcus Williams these days?

 

[oshkosh]

No Denham, Hilton, Marcus, Blaney

I still think thats the best team Uconn ever put on a court and i believe is a top 5 team of the last 35 years. That was the best team i had ever seen since the 1990 UNLV team at that point.

Ben Gordon made me fall in love with UConn basketball.

So glad he’s there and healthy, can’t wait to see him

Thank you for posting this. It was a nice way to start game day. We played great defense but some of that had to be attributed to our favorite non-UConn team Dook sort of choking a bit. They were not running any type offense and putting up contested threes. Funny thing I had forgotten how little CV played in the second half. But if you think about that team it was a different game. We had Taliek, Gordon , Rashad, Book and Mel in the game. Double big and only two shooters. The game has changed. And those shorts Taliek was wearing came down to almost mid calf. 20 years ago and look how far technology has come.

While it was being arranged for members of the 2004 UConn men’s basketball team to reconvene in Hartford and celebrate the 20-year anniversary of their national championship, coach Jim Calhoun wondered if Ben Gordon would show up. He wanted to make sure Gordon did.

“I only called him five times this week,” Calhoun said.

“I said, ‘Call me back with your ticket number,’” Calhoun said. “I said, ‘I'm not going to go out there and chauffeur you, but I want to know where it is.’ Just to encourage him. He's incredibly bright. He's a really great guy. I'm sure that during the difficult times — there are times that he's got to spend doing things, or talking to a therapist — I just wanted to show him that if you're looking for love, it's here. People love you, and understand that you've been through a very difficult time.”

“I’m in a good place,” Gordon said Saturday, avoiding nothing but elaborating on little.

Gordon helped UConn to the 2004 national championship and had an 11-year NBA career. Struggles with mental health have disrupted his personal life.

Anyone know why Denham couldn’t make it? Or what he’s been up to? Wasn’t hoping to see him at the Ceremony along with the others.
