St Joe's - Home
Villanova - Friend's House
Iowa St - Thirsty Fan in NYC across the street from MSG
Michigan St - Home during my son's birthday party (he's young, I was not allowed to be near him due to my language issues)
Florida - Local bar in NJ
Kentucky - Van Diem's in NYC with the UConn alumni group, about 800 drunk, screaming fans (I have no idea how I made it back to my hotel that night).
 
Game 1-5 at home
Game 6 in a hotel room in Miami

I ate one sleeve of Thin Mints per game. My last three boxes.

'Nova - at home live
ISU - Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill, Key Largo, FL
MSU - Disney Wonder Cruise Ship - State Room and Diversions Bar, Port of Miami, FL
UF - Taco Mac, mostly full of Gator fans or SEC fans rooting for the Gators, Johns Creek, GA **made the win extra sweet
KU - at home, full volume, full control of rewind on the DVR **we got a few calls, but it was really 5 on 8 when it came to contact
 
St. Joe's: Home
Nova: Home

Watched most of the tournament games at home.

I'm such a die-hard uconn fan that when it comes to the big games I can't be anywhere in public (bars,etc) because I can't stand listening to the fake/shallow fans or band-wagoners who spew bullsh!t when they really have no idea what they're talking about.
Or when the team starts doing bad I can't listen to someone talk about our players.

Rather watch in peace at home.

I DVRed the game against Florida, and watched it after everybody was asleep, just so my family didn't have to deal with the psycho that is Patrick! Hardest 3 hours of my life!

Championship game was easy HOME SWEET HOME!
 
The bigger question is how many of us were at msg on Sunday vs. Mich st. ??

I'll start ME!

We rocked the garden like it was our FIRST home!
We took over Stout, Barney Rock, and Van Diemans like they were in Hartford!
 
St. Joe's - Basement with friends
Villanova - Was staying the city with wife. We tried to watch at Van Diemens, was way too crowded, watched back in our hotel room. It was her birthday weekend but she was totally into it. Not sure how I managed to get her into basketball.
Iowa State - MSG with wife
Michigan State - Basement with wife
Florida - Friend's house
Kentucky - Basement with wife

That basement is proving to be a pretty special place.
 
2011 - had my first kid in March, watched all six games while holding him on a rocker in front of the TV.

2014 - had my second kid in February, watched all six games while holding him on the rocker in front of the TV.

We thought we were done at two.
 
St. Joe's. Home, Minneapolis MN
Nova Home, Minneapolis, MN
Iowa St. 1st half. Queens, NY; 2nd half. Briarcliff Manor, NY
Mich St. 1st half Queens, NY; 2nd half Terminal D at LaGuardia
Florida Ale House, Orlando
KY Lobby Bar, Hilton Bonnet Creek Orlando

Almost went to MSG but UConn has lost every Elite 8 and FF game I've been to... was good
luck that I didn't attend.

My first son was born on the morning of the DePaul game of the 2011 Big East Tournament. UConn had not won a Big East Tournament game during the entire period when I was dating, engaged to and ultimately married to my wife until that very day.

Then we rattled off five wins in his first five days.

So, now we have two boys, and UConn has won two national championships in the years when each was born. I'm seriously thinking about having another (and another, and another, and another).
 
Nashville in bar/restaurant across from The Comfort Inn with Breanna Stewart's grandfather! How cool is that!!!!
 
Home for all the games with 10 pounds of pure mojo wings and drinks in front of me for each game.

It's tough. But most of the time people here post crap because they're passionate about the team. I can accept that. What I can't accept are people who act like they care about basketball when the team is doing well and then bad-mouth them when they do poorly.

St. Joes: Home w/ UConn fam & Rolling rocks
Nova: Home w/ UConn fam & Rolling rocks
Iowa St.: MSG with my fellow students
MSU: MSG with my fellow students
Florida: Front g* damn row of AT&T Stadium calling Patric Young small
Kentucky: Front g* damn row of AT&T stadium nearly hopping the student section fence in the heat of the celebration.

What a run. I'll remember this season like it was yesterday for the rest of my life. Pretty soon, with KO at the helm, I'll have countless other runs that I'll never forget either.
 
St.Joes on phone while walkng around Disneyworld with my sons and grandchildren.
'Nova in hotel room at Disneyworld.
ISU at home in Venice,FL
MSU - ditto
Florida - at a charity auction at Venice Yacht Club walking around looking like a jerk watching game on my Ipad and then gladly spreading the results to a lot of unhappy Gator fans.
KY at home.

Easy fella you move quick.

I'll give you the opposite: I met my wife just before the Iverson/Allen game.

We went on an early date to a UConn/Villanova triple OT football game (she threw in a purple bra with a white tshirt).

We got engaged the day after the second WVU game at the Rent and wasn't pregnant until the 09 Final Four.

As an old man with a young child - I fully support you taking one for the program.

3 other championship games were all at home, had to go on a business trip this year and watch it alone in my hotel room on Long Island (after scouting the hotel bar and deciding they were not intense enough to watch a game with). I was worried about the mojo, as I watched the other 5 games this year at home on the left side of the couch with my son.
 
St Joes- Bobby V's in Windsor Locks

Iowa State- MSG
Michigan State- MSG

Home and I wore the same UCONN shirt for every game. Had friends over for the final four and had them wear the same shirts for both games.

Mojo was good.

Indeed. Great time.

The entire game was one big yell. As for drinks, I do remember taking a tequila shot from a much young alumni (post 2010?) from a place on her anatomy that I know my wife would not have appreciated. But, hey, I had to defend my manhood when she doubted my drinking skills due to my age. I assume that was not you :cool:

Ah, I miss college some days.
 
Home on the BY Chat for all six games.
