NCAA Chronicles 5

I think everyone is ready to get a good night's sleep as we must be up at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning for breakfast. We had a grand Italian dinner tonight, served family style. It was almost like we were in Italy again. Thanks to Tom and Suzy Reich for this special evening. They were not able to join us but did write in to a previous post here letting us know their hearts are with the team. They plan on celebrating in the living room of their Florida home tomorrow afternoon, in the same place where the team sang carols during its Miami trip last December. Also thanks to those of you who submitted questions for Coach Rizzotti that we'll ask during tomorrow's broadcast. We heard on this blog from an alumna in England who wanted to know if she could tune in and hear the game on the Web. The answer is a resounding yes. Just adjust for the time change with air time at 11:30 Eastern U.S. time. Visit www.hartford.edu. Thanks to all who have posted comments.

I saw a Rutgers player in the elevator this evening. But Hartford is more than represented here at the Westin with the band, cheerleaders, and administrators now here along with the team traveling party. President Walter Harrison was in the lobby this afternoon.

Game day is almost here.
