Message: [QUOTE="Zerosumgame, post: 2648724, member: 3553"] I always somewhat liked the Huskies growing up because they sent some real nice players to the NBA and had some great teams (as a Nigerian and a B-more kid, loved Okafor and Gay), but didn't really follow them until I got to campus. Growing up in Maryland in the 2000's it was all about Gary Williams, Juan Dixon, Shane Battier, and JJ Redick, so that was my main exposure to the sport. I transferred to UCONN in 2009 for my sophomore year and bought the remainder of the Gampel season ticket lottery games off of somebody for a stupid price. My first game in December; UCONN vs. Harvard. I remember thinking it would be an easy win against a bad team, but Harvard came to play and were giving us all we could handle. They had this little Asian kid running point and he was ridiculous, just killing UCONN all game and easily outplaying Kemba. Had great handle, could shoot, and even had showed real hops throwing down a dunk. I spent most of the second half just wondering who the hell this dude was and where tf did he come from? We ended up winning a close hard-fought game, and as Knicks fan, it was a little less surprising for me than everyone else when that same dude starting showing out at the Garden 3 years later. The game against #1 Texas a month or so later is what made me a fan for life, though. Crazy atmosphere, great win, and maybe the most fun I've ever had at a sporting event. Didn't storm the court, though. [/QUOTE]
