JPJ rocks: But what about ol' UHall?
Jim Connelly remembers everything about the first game played in University Hall. It was a December 4, 1965 contest against Kentucky that the Wildcats, on their way to the NCAA title and immortality in the Disney film Glory Road, won by 99-73. Connelly, a 6-3 guard, was overshadowed only by Kentucky forward Pat Riley, later the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and this year's NBA champion Miami Heat. He remembers everything– "the game situations, who I guarded, who guarded me, all of those kinds of details." He also remembers what University Hall meant to UVA's basketball program.
"Building University Hall was obviously a significant step up," Connelly says.
