At the Phone Booth

Just arrived at the Verizon Center (nee MCI Center, a.k.a. the Phone Booth) for today's NCAA tourney pressers, practices, etc. Not surprisingly, the wireless Internet is down (nice to have an air card, though).

As we were walking into the building, it dawned on us that UConn's recent history here hasn't been good. Five years ago, it was George Mason. Need I say more? Three years ago, Roy Hibbert's 3-pointer in the waning seconds gave Georgetown a win over the Huskies. Roy Hibbert, a 7-foot center! And last year, UConn squandered a 17-point first-half lead and lost to the Hoyas again, thanks largely to Austin Freeman's 33-point explosion.t

The Huskies are hoping for better luck tomorrown night against Bucknell. I was surprised to see they're only a 10-point favorite this morning.
