Message: [QUOTE="RogueDave, post: 4255791, member: 6055"] Yes I was there it was 2014 and an awesome atmosphere at the Pinnacle Arena, I stood in line at ticket window and a guy was walking up and down greeting fans he came to me with my UCONN shirt started talking WBB shocked him a bit when I told him Geno wanted us to WBB fans 1st and UCONN fans 2nd. He gave me strange look I told him yes we are expected to cheer for both teams only louder for UCONN. Then I proved it to him after a fashion, He was impressed when I started telling him about Nebraska WBB past success when they attended the last UCONN sponsored tournament in the later 1990’s 1997 I think, they played Western Kentucky Hilltoppers I mentioned the offseason the Nebraska coach became the Hilltoppers coach and the Hilltoppers coach had become the Nebraska coach then the teams played each other at our tournament. Lots of team hugs after that game. He said diehard Cornhusker fans didn’t even know that, he gave me 2 tickets 3 rows behind the UConn bench for the tournament, he and his wife got seats in the box suite He came down to check on me at halftime revealed he was on Nebraska WBB advisory committee… He asked me if I was a UCONN super fan, I had to confess I told him I barely rate average on the Boneyard scale. 2nd best seats I ever got for UCONN game. Awesome experience and the fans were great! [/QUOTE]
