Here's another Field House "racquetball" story.  I use quotes because the courts were actually squash courts - or something else, if I recall.  My roommate and I just finished playing our match in 1986 (our freshman year) and as we were leaving, the basketball team and coaches were pouring off the basketball court into the back hallway - right into our path.  We asked one of the guys who won the game.  His first response was unintelligible.  So we asked again and got a surly "the Australian team."  Later that evening, we were watching the sports report on the local news and realized that we actually gave coach Calhoun his first ever post game interview question!

My years there were unbelievable... from the 9-19 inaugural Calhoun season, to reading the Courant every week to see if we were listed in the "also receiving votes" category, to the 1988 NIT Championship, to the opening of Gampel, to sitting in Tate's dorm room watching as he hit "the shot!"

It certainly has been a rough couple of years, recently.  My hopes are high that we get some of that magic back with coach Hurley!!

GO HUSKIES!!!
