Full disclosure: I am from Connecticut, have lived in Connecticut my whole life, and have been an incredibly loyal fan of the University of Connecticut men’s basketball team ever since it played its former New England rivals like Boston College, UMass, Holy Cross, Providence, New Hampshire, and Maine back in the old Yankee Conference.
If anyone had told me way back in the early 1970s that UConn would win one National Championship, I would never have believed it in my wildest dreams....
