Let's get some perspective on this.
A wise old UConn fan may he RIP named the Wiz taught me this year's ago.
He Said "CTPop( I lived in CT at the time ) win or lose you still have to show up for work tomorrow " except for us retired guys
If your life is a mess winning or losing isn't going to change that .
If your surrounded by idiots ,a game isn't going to make them disappear .
Having said that winning does make all those negative things in our life a wee bit more tolerable if only for a short time.
My advise to the UConn team is the same advise a Spartan Mother gave he son going off to war. Come back carrying your shield in victory or come back being carried on your shield. As fans we can't ask for more.
