But that’s kind of the best way to describe the atmosphere in the old Civic Center mall. The sellout crowd of 15,564 Saturday evening was anxious for a reason to erupt in exultation for their team. There was just one problem: their team couldn’t make a shot. The UConn men’s basketball team, which when the season began looked like a team that just needed one shooter to emerge in order to become a national contender, still looks that way.[/I] [/QUOTE]
