Meet Mo.
Mo is quite popular this time of the year.
In 2011, Mo hopped on the back of Kemba Walker and helped carry Connecticut through the Big East and NCAA Tournaments and to a national title.
Tucson has a good relationship with Mo — after all, Mo was there when the Wildcats upset three different No. 1 seeds on their way to the 1997 championship.
Mo — full name: Mo Mentum — isn’t actually a person. It’s an idea, and, in March, it’s everything.
Common sense says that teams that build up momentum at the end of the season, with winning streaks or late-season thrilling finishes, tend to be in better shape for the NCAA Tournament.
