To Honor UConn Women's Hoops Team Tuesday, Hartford Buildings Turning Blue

Governor M. Jodi Rell today announced that the skies over Hartford will shine with blue and white Husky pride on Tuesday, December 21 as the UConn women's basketball team attempts to set the college basketball record for consecutive wins at 89. The two-time defending national champions can break the record Tuesday night with a win over Florida State at the XL Center.
 

Governor Rell said downtown buildings Hartford 21 and Aetna will display blue and white lights in honor of the record-setting attempt and she is encouraging other businesses in the state to do the same.  Governor Rell said she is also urging UConn fans to show their support by wearing blue and white on Tuesday. 

"The tradition of excellence continues as our UConn women continue to rewrite the record books. What they have accomplished is phenomenal and one more win will clearly set them in a class by themselves," Governor Rell said. "I urge all UConn fans to show their pride and support tomorrow by wearing blue and white to the office or in classrooms."
