1999 NCAA Championship Game - UConn vs. Duke (VHS)
As far as I know there is no official source for a VHS tape of the complete game - only the highlight tape (above) is available. However, I have seen copies made available via eBay and, if that doesn't pan out, you could always try asking on The Boneyard or the UConn-BBall email discussion list if someone could make you a copy.

USPS Commemorative Envelope
Available for $6.50 at any post office in Connecticut, I believe. Has the Final Four logo and the final score of the game and is postmarked March 29th in St. Petersbeurg, FL. As of mid-August the Norwich post office still had over half of the envelopes they started with. New London only had a handful left as of mid-October. Gales Ferry post office has some left as well.

The Husky Road to St. Petersburg
This package consists of two audio cassettes. It was put together by WTIC-AM 1080, the flagship station of the UConn Radio Network. It includes sound bytes from every game including regular season, the Big East Tournament, and the NCAA Tournament plus a complete rebroadcast of the Championship Game all with Joe D'Ambrosio and Wayne Norman followed by the postgame show. It and other NCAA Championship memorabilia was available from Bob's Stores but they may no longer have these tapes at this point. However, you may be able to find it on eBay.

NCAA Championship issue of Sports Illustrated
This is the issue of Sports Illustrated magazine the week following UConn's victory. I still see it on some magazine racks around the state, and I assume you can still order it as a back issue from SI.

Sports Illustrated's University of Connecticut National Champions Collector's Edition
This is a leather-bound version of the special commemorative issue of Sports Illustrated magazine printed the week following UConn's victory. I still see the much-cheaper magazine version of this on some magazine racks around the state.

This poster is a photo of the entire Tropicana Field Stadium taken at the exact moment the opening tip-off was thrown up. Great shot. It's also available as a 800 x 517 JPG file which makes a great desktop picture for your computer. Other NCAA Championship memorabilia is also available from the St. Petersberg Times, the host newspaper of the Final Four.

They've got some UConn hats. They aren't National Championship hats, but some of them are pretty good looking. They also have a lot of different hats for NCAA, MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA teams, plus some pretty odd hats like the Fighting Squirrels and the Sand Gnats.
