The Garden was alive from the start of the matchup against Connecticut, on senior night, the final home game for the Red Storm.
A season ticket holder and other fans agreed: someone had to assist Joel Soriano for the Red Storm to once again pull an upset of the Huskies. The season ticket holder felt “either Posh Alexander or Andre Curbelo must stand up and lead the Johnnies for the Johnnies to win.”
The atmosphere at the Garden was alive, as said, but unlike the Creighton game’s pro-Johnnies “defense” chants, it was Connecticut fans calling out, “Let’s go Huskies”.
