While they&#8217;re stoked in Storrs for this chance to top the tourney there&#8217;s nothing like the first time. Back in 1999 the Huskies upset the Dukies for the school&#8217;s first NCAA title on the men&#8217;s side. What did they rock? Lots of heat. Star two-guard Rip Hamilton showed JB roots rocking the Air Jordan 14 while swingman Ricky Moore busted out the Nike Air Flightposite. They weren&#8217;t the only ones in good releases from Nike and Jordan.
