UConn Basketball and the BIG EAST Championship IN THE BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIP: UConn enters the quarterfinals of the 2012 BIG EAST Tournament with a 36-25 all-time mark in tourney play. UConn is a seven-time BIG EAST Tournament Champion, winning the title in 1990, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2004 and 2011. The Huskies have been the tourney runner-up three times, in 1995, 2000, and 2003. Last season, UConn became the only team to ever play five games in the tournament and, obviously, the only team to ever win five, on its way to the 2011 tourney crown. The Huskies are also one of only four teams to play four games in the tournament, turning the trick in 2000 as well as 2011. UConn is also the only team in league history to win both the regular season and tournament titles in consecutive seasons (1997-98 and 1998-99). UConn is 35-22 in BIG EAST Tournament games in Madison Square Garden, 35-18 under Jim Calhoun. The Huskies have a record of 27-10 when seeded better than their opponent, 8-14 when seeded worse and 1-1 with an equal seed as their tournament opponent. UCONN AS THE NO. 9 SEED: UConn is the No. 9 seed in the BIG EAST Championship for the fourth time in its history and is 8-2 as the No. 9 seed. The Huskies were the No. 9 seed in the 1988 Tournament, defeating No. 8 Providence in the first round and then falling to topseed Pitt in the quarterfinals. In 1987, UConn was also the No. 9 seed and lost to No. 8 Boston College in the opening round. Last year as the No. 9 seed, the Huskies swept five games on their way to the 2011 championship. They are 2-0 this year as the No. 9 seed. UCONN AGAINST THE NO. 1 SEED: UConn has faced the No. 1 seed seven times in the BIG EAST Championship, going 5-2 in those games. Last season, the Huskies defeated No. 1 seed Pittsburgh, 7674, in the quarterfinals.

Sophomore Shabazz Napier scored nine consecutive points to single-handedly bring the Huskies into a 63-63 tie with 2:10 to go. Napier, who scored a game-high 26 points and handed out 6 assists, fouled out 2:01 into the overtime session, but Jeremy Lamb (22 points, 8 rebounds) hit a dramatic three-pointer

with 1:04 to go to put UConn in front for good and Ryan Boatright’s (10 points) free throw sealed the win. It was the UConn defense that deserved the credit, however, holding West Virginia without a field goal in the overtime (0-11). It was UConn’s seventh consecutive win in the BIG EAST Championship, tying Georgetown for the third longest streak. UConn already owns the BIG EAST Championship record with nine straight victories (1998, 1999, 2000). VS. SYRACUSE: UConn and Syracuse have a rich BIG EAST Championship history, having met 13 times in the tourney, with the Orange holding a narrow 7-6 edge. They have met twice in the first round (Syracuse 2-0), three times in the quarterfinals (Syracuse 3-0), six times in the semifinals (UConn 4-2) and twice for the championship (UConn 2-0). The two staged one of the most memorable games in BIG EAST Championship history when they battled through six overtimes before the Orange captured a 127-117 win in the 2009 quarterfinals. This season, Syracuse won both regular-season meetings against the Huskies, an 85-67 decision at the Carrier Dome (Feb. 11) and a 7169 thriller at Gampel Pavilion (Feb. 25) on ESPN College Basketball GameDay. CALHOUN/UCONN AT MSG: Jim Calhoun will be coaching his 85th game at Madison Square Garden as Connecticut’s head basketball coach when the Huskies hit the floor against Syracuse. In his 26th year as head coach at UConn, Calhoun and his Huskies have recorded an overall record of 51-33 in games played at MSG. UConn and Calhoun have won eight championships at MSG—the 1988 NIT Championship, the 1990 BIG EAST Tournament Championship, the 1996 BIG EAST Tournament Championship, the 1998 BIG EAST Tournament Championship, the 1999 BIG EAST Tournament Championship, the 2002 BIG EAST Tournament Championship, the 2004 BIG EAST Tournament Championship, and the 2011 BIG EAST Tournament Championship. Under Coach Calhoun, UConn is 8-8 in 16 regular season games against St. John’s University, 35-18 in BIG EAST Tournament games and 8-7 in other tournament play in MSG. Connecticut had a record of 6-16 in Madison Square Garden prior to Coach Calhoun’s arrival at UConn. UCONN IN THE FIRST ROUND: UConn has a record of 4-6 in the BIG EAST Championship First Round. The Huskies topped DePaul, 9771, in the first round last season and defeated the Blue Demons again, 81-67, in the first round this year. In other first-round appearances, the Huskies lost to St. John’s, 73-51, in the 2010 first round. In other first-round appearances, the Huskies fell to Syracuse, 78-65 in 2007, the Huskies lost to Syracuse in 2001, 86-75, beat Boston College in the first round in 2000 and lost to Pittsburgh in the first round in 1997. The Huskies made three first round “8-9” game appearances, beating Providence in 1989 and losing to Boston College in 1987 and Seton Hall in 1986. UCONN IN THE SECOND ROUND: UConn has played in the second round of the BIG EAST Championship twice, defeating Georgetown, 79-62, last season, and West Virginia, 71-67 in overtime, this year. The tourney has only had a second round since 2009, the year when all 16 league teams began competing in the tourney. UCONN IN THE QUARTERFINALS: UConn has played 26 times in the BIG EAST quarterfinals and has a record of 13-13 in quarterfinal games. Last year, UConn upset No. 1 seed Pittsburgh, 76-74, in the quarterfinals. The Huskies had won 10 straight quarterfinal games before losing in the quarterfinals in 2006 to Syracuse, 2008 to West Virginia, and 2009 to Syracuse.

CALHOUN TAKES MEDICAL LEAVE: UConn Hall of Fame UConn Coach Jim Calhoun returned to the bench on March 3 against Pittsburgh after taking a medical leave of absence to deal with spinal stenosis, a lower back condition that required surgery, which was performed on Feb. 27. Calhoun, the leader among all active coaches with 1,249 games coached, missed UConn games against Seton Hall (Feb. 4), Louisville (Feb. 6), Syracuse (Feb. 11), DePaul (Feb. 15), Marquette (Feb. 18), Villanova (Feb. 20), Syracuse (Feb. 25), and Providence (Feb. 28). Calhoun has missed 29 games for various reasons during his 26-year UConn career and the Huskies were 14-15 in those games.

career in the first-round game against DePaul and now has 1,031, moving up to 43rd on the all-time list. Lamb accomplished the feat in 72 games, the 20th-fastest to reach the plateau. The other UConn players to reach 1,000 points in their sophomore season include Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Caron Butler, Khalid El-Amin, and Ben Gordon. Wes Bialosuknia also scored 1,000 in his first two seasons, but was a junior, since freshmen were ineligible to compete at the time. Lamb was named to the All-BIG EAST First Team, announced Sunday, and was named the USBWA District 1 Player of the Year on Monday. Lamb was named to the Final Four All-Tournament game last season and was an AP Preseason First Team All-American this year.

5 NIGHTS, 5 GAMES, 5 WINS No team had ever played five games on five consecutive days in the BIG EAST Championship, much less win them all, until UConn accomplished the feat in 2011 to capture its seventh BIG EAST title. It wasn’t too surprising when the Huskies, seeded No. 9, defeated 16th-seeded DePaul, 97-71, in the tourney’s first round, nor all that much of a shock when they eliminated No. 8 seed Georgetown, 79-62, in the second round. Everybody took notice, however, when Kemba Walker’s buzzer-beating shot upset top-seeded Pittsburgh, 76-74, in Thursday’s quarterfinals. Walker followed that with a spectacular 33-point, 12-rebound, 5-assist, 6-steal performance in the Huskies’ 76-71 overtime win over fourth-seeded Syracuse in the Friday night semifinals. Finally, in the title game of the BIG EAST Championship, UConn completed the fivenight sweep with a 69-66 victory over Louisville as Walker scored 19 points to set a tournament record with 130 points scored.
