We Want UConn

[oldude]

Never miss an opportunity to make a buck. Today the University of Connecticut in partnership with the Big East Conference announced a line of t-shirts, sweatshirts & hoodies with the phrase “WE WANT UCONN” and the Husky logo on them. No word on whether the Villanova band will earn any royalties.....

Hopefully if Villanova wants UConn so badly in the coming years Geno will continue to oblige them.

I was at the tournament and heard the band chanting that as the win against Seton Hall seemed imminent. I thought, "Be careful what you wish for!"

Maybe they'll all get T-shirts?

Evina deserves one at the very least. It was her comments in the post-game pressor that drew everyone's attention to what they said. She made their band famous!

Well that plus the fact that at the end of the game the entire UConn team pointed to the Villanova band and started chanting, “We want UConn!”

I recall a game in 1995 at Walsh Gymnasium where the Huskies administered a thorough thrashing to the Pirates and as the game wound down their student body broke into refrains of “wait till next year” !! That has not worked out to well either for the last 27 years.

I was just watching the final four game against Stanford in 1995 and at the end the crowd started chanting we want tennessee. It worked that time since UConn did beat tennessee in the nat championship game

Some folks apparently forgot the old saying, "Be careful what you ask. You just might get it". Villanova got it.

C’mon guys.

What else would you expect Nova fans and the band to chant given the circumstances: “We want Seton Hall to want UConn - we prefer to lose now and not tomorrow.”?

I take this type of chant as being good natured and not being a diss on the Huskies.

Love our players response, though, at the end of the game as reported by Oldude.
