[QUOTE="FortyFourCT, post: 897374, member: 382"]
Born and raised in CT (near Waterbury) and attended Syracuse from 1991-1995.  My parents and none of my friends were college basketball fans and Uconn sucked at that time so there was never any juice about the sport in my area.  My very first memory of the game was the Indiana/Syracuse title game in 1997 so I was 14.  I don't remember the Keith Smart jumper, I just remember free throws at the end and some misses.  I wasn't rooting for either team and my memories are very cloudy.
 
My next memory was of the Michigan/Seton Hall title game 2 years later.  This game is really what made me like college hoops.  I became a fan of the game and the Big East specifically.  I was a big fan of Villanova and St. John's. 
 
2 years later I applied to and was accepted to Syracuse and immediately became a fan of the team.  And just a couple of months after being accepted, watching my first Syracuse NCAA game as a fan of the team, they lost to Richmond.
 
Went to just about every football and basketball game from 91-95.  I've been back for games many time, but the last 5 years I think I made it once due to having a few kids.  Got back twice already this year and going to the Duke game as well now that the kids are a bit older and can handle overnight babysitting etc.
 
So anyway, the first two Syracuse basketball games I can remember watching were Indiana and Richmond, yet I'm still here!
On a happier note, the first football game I remember watching was at the Dome vs. Florida in 91 and I was at the game!
