HARTFORD, Conn. — The UConn men’s basketball team was the talk of Houston after cruising to a national championship on Monday, but Houston’s attention has turned from the brilliance of the Huskies to the perceived ignorance of Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont after comments he made about the host city.
Lamont was one of the thousands of UConn fans to descend on Houston for the Final Four, and while he was impressed with UConn’s performance, he wasn’t exactly as impressed with Houston itself, which he made known on WPLR’s Chaz & AJ in the Morning.
“You walk around Houston, which is butt ugly, not much there,” Lamont said before being cut off by laughter.
