UConn Basketball To Celebrate NCAA Championship Game Win With Pep Rally

On Tuesday, hours after UConn’s win over Butler in the NCAA Tournament final, the national champion Huskies will return to Storrs, Connecticut. The team is expected to appear in Gampel Pavilion for a pep rally at approximately 5:30 p.m. local time. The Hartford Courant has the details:

The doors to Gampel Pavilion will open to the public at about 5:00 p.m. and the team is expected to arrive in Storrs at about 5:30 p.m.
The event at Gampel is free and open to the public. The program will include the introduction of the team and also include brief comments from Calhoun and other individuals.

The team is scheduled to fly out of Houston at noon Tuesday and arrive in Connecticut around 3:30 p.m., at which time UConn fans are encouraged to greet them at Bradley International Airport.
