Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4810918, member: 1414"] They didn't like Hurley. Admittedly, we were behind the UConn bench. They thought Newton was amazing. They were generally worried when we took a lead, because it was clear KU played a great first half and yet was only up 7. Then UConn started scoring more regularly. They were impressed at how well UConn traveled. That's pretty unusual for a visiting fanbase that isn't K-State, Missouri or Indiana. As for the fans, they think the UConn chant is a bit repetitive and unimaginative (it is). But the fans all got along. I saw young UConn guys near me chatting with older KU fans and everybody was enjoying the moment. At the bars everybody got along. As I said before, don't judge either fanbase on the Twitter trolls who are trying to instigate. Both teams' fans are deep, real fans of the sport of college basketball. So there is a real mutual respect. [/QUOTE]
