TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Bill Murray Is UConn’s Lucky Charm

If you’ve been paying attention to the crowd shots during the UConn games in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament this month you’ve probably seen a pretty familiar famous face. Bill Murray! You may be wondering why?

His His son, Luke Murray, is one of the coaches for the Huskies. So he is supporting him throughout the tourney. He was out in Vegas for their big win over the weekend and I’m sure will be heading to Houston this weekend for the Final Four. They way they’re winning when he’s at the games this year, he better be going.

Go Huskies and Go Murray’s!
