Thousands of UConn fans lined the streets of downtown Hartford on Saturday to fete the men's basketball team following its second straight NCAA championship.
The players and coaches paraded on a double-decker bus with an open-air top and lifted the national title trophy from the state Capitol to the XL Center, the arena in which the team plays about half its home games. The procession included marching bands, cheerleaders, first responders, top state politicians and other groups as fans shouted and waved UConn signs.
"I appreciate you guys," the Bristol, Connecticut, native said."You guys have been the best fans to me for the past two years. I'll cherish those moments for the rest of my life. I'll be a Husky for life. Love you guys.""Thank you for all the support that you guys have given me the past two years and supporting the team," Newton told the crowd."Without you guys, back-to-back wouldn't have been possible.
