Matt Necci has been a UConn fan for pretty much his entire life. The men’s basketball team caught his eye in the late 1980s and he was still a young sprout during the Dream Season in 1990.
“I experienced the highs of the Tate George shot and Ray Allen winning the Big East title,” Necci said. “The lows of losing to Duke, UCLA and UNC in the Elite Eight, and the absolute joy and madness of winning in 1999, 2004, 2011 and 2014.”
After growing up as a fan, Necci became a part of the university in the fall of 1999 when he came in as a freshman.
