I was there for that bad year.Fall 1965 at the Field House.
First time I saw Wes Bialosuknia play with his patented jump shot. They played against Yale and Yale had no answers.
Loud crowd noise. Many games after that. Scrappy teams during that era of Penders, Ritter, Hesford, Thompson, Corley. Biggest games were against Syracuse and Rutgers. PC and BC were powerhouse teams. URI had a bull named Chubin and a silky player named Fultz. AIC had a bull nicknamed "Moose."
Holy Cross always seemed to have our number.
Bad year in 1968-69.
Long time ago. Superior talent today.
Me too. First game was 1964 at The Field House against UMASS. I want to say December.I was there for that bad year.
Kids getting dressed as burritos: tiredFacts I know about my first game:
Based on that info (well, four out of those five pieces of information), Sports Reference infers that it was a 2-26-94 game vs Pitt.
- it was at HCC,
- I went w/ my oldest sister who either was a student at UConn or was a HS senior knowing she got into UConn,
- it was against Pitt,
- Ray Allen was playing
- the halftime show was a bunch of mascots playing basketball. My personal favorite was the Bob's Discount Furniture mattress, whose stubby arms had no business dribbling a basketball or receiving a pass, but he was a monster at setting picks.
Bridgeport!My first UConn game was December 2013 vs East Washington. What was your first UConn mens game?
Older than you?Field house
