In the spirit of SB Nation brotherhood, I reached out to the fine folks at our Colorado site, Ralphie Report, to get some intel on UConn's first NCAA Tournament victim opponent.
Thanks to Sam Metivier for the answers!
So, are Buffs fans pumped to make a trip to Des Moines?
I don't know if anyone will ever get pumped to go to Iowa, but based on the massive amounts of fans traveling there, it's safe to say people are excited. There is precedent here, too. Back in the magical 2012 season (yes, a Round of 32 run is magical for us), fans turned up in droves to Albuquerque and filled the Pit with CU chants galore.
