Yesterday's crowd

[HuskyNan]

I decided those of us in the crowd deserve the credit for making Marina Mabrey travel late in the 4th quarter, when UConn held a one point lead. I haven't heard it that loud in the Civic Center for 10 years. The below clip is from after the game. BTW, I didn't see anyone leaving until there were about 20 seconds left in the game. (On edit: sorry, Cat, didn't see you had posted this elsewhere)

The student section was awesome.

Incidentally, it was nice that UConn had the National Championship field hockey team receive acknowledgement during halftime. The team got a standing O for going 23-0 and capturing its fifth national title. The players sat in the student section and cheered on their fellow Huskies.

I was thinking that this was the quietest sellout crowd ever until we started our 4 Q run. Thanks to all for getting on your feet and getting loud. We had your backs ladies.

Great posts, thank you Nan. It's December but the game sure felt like it was in March!!!! Final Four feeling with both teams left everything on the floor. UConn recruits who were at the game must be thinking about playing in this type of game and atmosphere.

Hadn't thought about that, but....

Ah, so that was you guys! Watching ESPN, that was definitely the moment Mabrey lost it for good!

And Pheesha's snatch of the ball showed real finesse. Big cat smile and purr from Pheesha after that.

Really, the end of ND's focus.

Congrats!

I contributed my part - we sit behind the visitors' bench. With about 3 minutes to go and UConn taking a foul shot (quiet time) I suggested to Muffet that it would be a good time to warm up the bus.

In the arena, what was the mood for you guys just before we opened up in the 4th?

When ever someone says that no one cares about or watches WCBB, I laugh, because I know better. THEY don't watch or care about WCBB. Because they don't, they assume that everyone else thinks like they do..................................WRONG!!! We know better. If they choose to miss out on some great basketball played below the rim by some outstanding female athletes, that's their prerogative. Yesterday's sell out of the XL Center is proof positive that WCBB is alive, well and coveted. I wish I could have been there. THAT was a game for the ages.

There were 15,564 lucky fans that truly got their money's worth in attendance, while millions more across the country watched on national TV. Anyone that doesn't like WCBB can go sit in a corner and drink a LARGE warm bottle of prune juice then see how long they can hold it in. Connecticut loves their Huskies. The next time you encounter a hater, send them this link.

Cruel, but hilarious

Truth be told, I enjoyed this WCBB game better than lots of football games.

Thank you for posting it. It was quite touching for a fan living far away.

Well believe it or not, when they had us by a pretty big lead in the 4th (10 or 11?) my friend asked me what i thought. I told him we had them just where we wanted them.

Perfect answer.
