Dana, Bangor, ME: Wow!! That word says it all, but who could stop there. My hungry Huskies played the way I knew they would. Many people doubted you guys (Sir Charles) all the way through but you all took a big bite out of that adversity. I also want to say that Coach Kevin Ollie earned this Championship every step of the way, and it couldn't have happened to a better, or more worthy guy. I think that beyond this National Championship accolade, Kevin Ollie has always operated his life in a way that places him in a very unique and prestigious class. It's the "Eye of the Tiger" class and its a class reserved for men and women who aren't blessed with anything but the desire and passion to keep on fighting and never give up. Congrats to KO and the Uconn Huskies!

Thanks for an exciting journey and proving to the world that UCONN basketball is here to stay.
