It was a busy evening for UConn students as they packed the bars yet again to cheer on both the men’s and women’s team Saturday.
Many of them watched the women's team fight hard, ultimately going down to Ohio State. Disappointing, but they say the women did their best and will be better next year when Paige Bueckers returns from injury.
“I’m super bummed about it, but I’m hoping UConn nation can come together and support the men, and I’m so excited for them too," UConn senior Olivia Borcello tells us.
“It was an unfortunate loss and I don’t think we played to the best of our abilities, but it happens," UConn senior Maggie Leatherwood says.

There were throngs of students wearing all kinds of Husky jerseys, shirts, and hoodies. There was even a shirt that said ‘Game On’, which pretty much has been the motto on campus.
That Husky Pride is really coming out, as this is the first time we’re seeing the men’s and women’s team make it this far since 2014 when they both won the national championship.
The men will face the winner of Sunday's Texas-Miami match up next weekend.
