No. 18 UConn took down No. 20 Providence, 87–69, in men’s basketball Wednesday night at home in front of a raucous a sold-out crowd thanks to a $2 beer night.
Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn., hosted the $2 beer promotion up through the first half in honor of senior night. Fans lined up to partake in the deal, and apparently the crowd seemed louder and more hyped than usual.
Indeed, Providence coach Ed Cooley couldn’t help but mention that maybe the beer sale was partially to blame for his team’s loss. However, he also admitted the Friars weren’t on top of their game in the Big East rivalry matchup.
