For those that were there, how was the crowd tonight?  Sounds like the players and Hurley appreciated the support.

[I]“Oh, that was electric,” Karaban said after the game. “It’s always fun to play in front of the UConn fans and UConn crowd, for XL to be sold out tonight really gave us more energy and just really lifted us when we needed to go on a run and extend the lead.”

When Diarra left the floor he received a loud ovation from the 15,564 packing XL Center.

"That felt amazing," he reported. "That's just getting recognition for playing hard, playing my game. This crowd is amazing. UConn Nation is one of a kind. I appreciate that, we appreciate them. Sold-out crowd gives us that little bit of edge that we need."

"This place was electric," Hurley said. "It was cool to see, walking over from the hotel in the pregame around 5:15 p.m. or so, to see all the UConn fans in the restaurants ... probably having a couple of cocktails. The city being buzzing hours before the game was pretty neat. This venue played a huge factor in us being able to get a tough, Big East win."[/I]
