Happy for Ollie that he was able to cap off this season in his hometown. And he was the best "NCAA tourney freshman" on or near the court tonight.

Extremely pumped. College basketball capital of the world! Wish I was on-campus last night.
Well, here we are again. Another victorious college, another burning college. The kids in Storrs have gone crazy after UConn beat Kentucky Monday night and they've ripped down a lamp post and thrown it through a school building's window. There are fires, flipped cars, and people climbing things they shouldn't be climbing.
Ehhh, they should have won by more...lolcurly2 said:Some of the most improbable things from an amazing run:
1. The first game was the hardest. It took a 3-point play from Amida Brimah to get them to overtime.
As UConn's run continued, guys on St. Joe's, must have been saying, "We HAD 'em!"
2. Kentucky NEVER led in that game. It was 2-2 and 6-6, but otherwise UConn was ahead the entire time. How often are there NO lead changes in a game that's not a mismatch?
3. Kentucky missed 11 free throws last night. UConn missed 14 in the tournament -- 101-115.
4. It was so great, even Clears Cleaver was happy.

The NCAA champion UConn men’s and women’s basketball teams will be at Fenway Park April 22 for a pre-game ceremony.
To go along with at Stanford and Florida and home against Texas. Plus the PR Tip Off Classic with Dayton and others. Nice OOC schedule so far.Dan Murfman said:Not ready to start a new UConn thread but they have announced an OOC game in Newark against Duke.
