That's awesome. Jiggy is my all time favorite URI player. And great seeing Sly, Stan, Irv and Nellie too. I don't think I've ever seen video of that team. Thanks!

Listen to those crazed fans! I think I heard myself. Those were fun times.

It stinks they didn't have video of the 2013 game at the RC... atmosphere was completely insane.

Wow thanks. I heard my parents talk about Sly and co but I've never seen video before.

That was nothing compared to the first visit of PC to the Ryan Center during the blizzard in 2003. That was a truly insane environment. It was even more impressive given the lengths that people had to go to get there in a multiple feet snowstorm.

Ah, long ago…..bounce passes.

I tried watching the 77 and 78 games and after 4+ mins in each video, nobody had scored.

The 67-66 defeat was heartbreaking. When the game ended I remember jiggy still on the floor upset that his last shot did not go in.

I knew the younger fans wouldn't like these old videos. Zone defenses, no one on one basketball, no high flying dunks. I'm sorry, but I'll take the old style of basketball any day. Like Bress said, a bounce pass!!!

RF - worst drive ever to get back and forth from Central Ct. for the first Friar game.

I watched the first game in it's entirety, and enjoyed every minute of the rocking Civic Center. Brought back memories of truly great times. I started watching the second, but there was no audio, and it was less interesting. Looking forward to the others and getting even more jacked for Saturday.

My comment was that nobody got the ball in the hoop. It was not speaking to the style. Slow starts offensively in each game.

It sucked losing that '77 game, but that was a classic. So many good players on both teams. I still hate Joe Hassett.

The quality of the video also hurts.
