HOUSTON — Of course, they bleed blue. They’re Blue Bloods.
But there are no silly or make-believe labels that should matter to UConn’s vast legion of basketball fans, or to the Huskies’ home state at this delirious moment. The title that matters is the one the men’s basketball team, Dan Hurley’s Huskies, earned Monday night.
The Huskies completed a roll through the NCAA Tournament that has few comparisons, no numerical equals in the long history of March Madness, beating San Diego State 76-59, to take home the program’s fifth NCAA trophy before 72,423 at NRG Stadium.
