UConn’s women’s basketball team won their first national title in almost 10 years and Houston’s men pulled off a stunning comeback victory over Duke in the Final Four.Both teams were well supported by alumni, including former Huskies Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, and Sue Bird. Taurasi and Bird were on broadcast duties, but Moore and Stewart were in the stands during UConn’s victory and breezed on to the court to celebrate the win. Meanwhile, Hakeem Olajuwon, who played college basketball at Houston before embarking on his Hall of Fame NBA career, was in town to cheer on the Cougars. But unlike the former Huskies, Olajuwon was denied permission to celebrate with his former college on court after their win over Duke.The athle...
