Team UConn has been in San Antonio for 15 days (since March 15). No doubt the team had already begun to get and feel the ravages of "cabin fever."
Something had to be done.
Remember, the State Governor opened EVERYTHING up with no restrictions. The team medical personnel and the NCAA no doubt had a say in the protocols the team had to follow if they wanted to leave the bubble for an outing. The best thing about the zoo was, a chance to leave the hotel, another chance to bond with teammates, and they got to eat together for a change. It appears they had fun. I wish the video clips were longer.
My youngest granddaughter went to the Los Angeles Zoo on Monday with a small group of friends. She said it was the most fun she's had since the COVID lockdown began over a year ago. The area we live in has not opened up completely yet. Theaters just opened up today. Let them enjoy themselves, they deserve it. Keep them loose (but safe) for the task in front of them.
Everyone stay safe and enjoy the game tomorrow.
