For TZ: The Party Never Grows Old For UConn Players, Fans

Gray clouds hung over the UConn campus Wednesday afternoon and rain threatened as more than 2,000 fans waited to welcome home the NCAA champion women's basketball team.

But the mood among the fans was bright as the bus carrying the players and coaches rolled into the plaza next to the Student Union, greeted by wildly cheering fans holding signs and snapping cellphone pictures.

"We didn't just win ... we gave a whole bunch of people a reason to have a party," coach Geno Auriemma said when he addressed the crowd in Storrs. "The only thing we do better than championships in Storrs, Conn., is we party, man."
