Great atmosphere, but man, they're gonna give me more gray hairs. They play like a team and get up, then suddenly it's everyone wants to be a star and the lead evaporates.

Small side story: struck up a subway conversation with a woman. Turns out she was a long time UConn fan who'd written about the Lobo-era team for the NY Times as a freelancer. Small world! (and people tease me about my inability to NOT strike up conversations with strangers!)
