Couldn't get into gampel, real mad... but ended up watching in ITE 80 (a full 200 person lecture hall) while drinking beer. Epic college experience if I do say so myself.

All games at home. If I can't be there live I want peace, sofa plenty of beer and food. I don't want waitresses, bartenders or any distractions.

Drank the same beer every game and switched up wings and ribs. And yes I did pack a mini cooler to minimize trips to the fridge.

St Joes- my couch
Nova-my couch
Iowa St-my couch
MSU- sick all day, and felt ok by game time and felt like a billion bucks after the game of course lol, I almost put on green pants then i was like no I can't wear that its bad mojo, so I grab a pair of brown pants which were pilled in my dirty laundry
Florida- my couch
Kentucky- My brothers house which happens to be in Providence, he's a big uconn fan too btw, my gf and his fiancé were both sleeping, and we purposely woke both of them up and our excuse was Uconn won, we had a little to drink to say the least.

I always pace back and forth during the game, I was a freaking nervous wreck.

I hear ya, I always want space especially tournament games, i like to be in the zone. Sometimes I wait to long to get something to eat and I'm just like it I can't eat and just wait till the games over.

I was at the Doubletree Hotel in Nashville watching the game in the lobby with the UConn women. The game ended and I high fived Stephanie Dolson and Kia Stokes. Then the women's team led the fans in UConn cheers. Awesome!

Watched championship at - appropriately enough - Mutt Lynch's in Newport Beach CA. Crowd was split about 50/50 and Rowdy! Won a $100 bet with a Kentucky alum and immediately spent the winnings buying a round for the 10+ maniacs that were at my table......... Kentucky fans, UCONN fans, clueless fans...............

You heard it here first, Mr. Delany. UConn is the New York market.

Currently have a teaching position in Guangzhou, China and living in a hotel, so the 12 hour time difference, shaky internet feed, and teaching schedule made watching all games an adventure.

- St. Joe's - Fri AM for me - caught the 1st half on my laptop at my hotel, then had a class 2nd half so I followed it from my iPhone. Torture.
- Villanova - Sun AM here - caught the whole game on my laptop.
- Iowa St. - Sat AM here - watched it all on my laptop.
- MSU - got up at 2AM Monday morning to watch the whole game, & got to school 4 hrs later.
- Florida - Sun AM - shaky internet feed at the hotel, but caught most of the game.
- Kentucky - Mon AM - watched the 1st half on the computer in my office, then 2nd half had a class to teach. More torture. Caught updates on my phone during class, and it ended early enough where I caught the last couple minutes back in my office and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

A new form of stress & endurance which I'd never experienced before, but I consider it all my contribution to the mojo. ;)

I went to the Final Four in Dallas with my brother and this was sweet to watch first hand. Both UCONN games were great and highly contested unlike in San Antonio and Houston. This was our fourth UCONN Final Four going to and was definitely fun. I did predict at the beginning of the season we would be here but like many here there was doubt when we were the whipping boys for SMU and Louiville. Though like 2011 we came together and played our best ball of the season at the end of the year. I think I liked the 2o11 UCONN reception better than 2014 as it was more intimate and Jim Calhoun was out with the fans for much of the event. Still both of the last two final four wins have been great to see in person. 3-1 going to final fours has been great also. I just missed our first final four when I just have moved down to Atlanta.
