May you bring the joy of Jesus, who is risen and present in our midst, to all you meet.'”

“UConn center, Terrace Reed Jr. capped the Huskies' scoring in the 71-62 victory with key free throws in the game's final seconds. This season, Reed has shot a below average 59% from the line, but was determined to change that. Reed said he looked at his coach with 30 seconds left and asked to catch the ball and be fouled because he trusted the work he put in to knock the shots down.”
