Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2650051, member: 1026"] Extra likes! Really close to mine. My memory guess was Yale (easily most common first game opponent reading thru thread) and looked it up to verify. My Dad took me to the BE tournament semis in spring 1983 (not 1st UConn game but hey at least UConn didn't lose in the dreaded 8-9, lost a close one to Nova in #7 vs #2 68-69). Worth mentioning cuz that's when I fell in love with college hoop, MAdams & gawkey Jay Murphy for BC, Pinone (amazing effective ground bound bruiser and essentially cheater) for Nova, Leo Rautins Sr for Cuse and sophomore sensation Chris Mullin for St John's. 12/1/83 - UConn 76 Yale 54 - Earl Kelley was a sophomore and fell in love with the way he spun the ball off the backboard for layups and his rainbow j's.
