Daniel Nardini, 61, of Connecticut grew up a big UConn basketball fan. He’s attended UConn games that predate The Big East and of course attended games through the conference’s and UConn’s simultaneous rise.
Over the years, this fostered Nardini’s love for college basketball. It lead to his mission to attend every college basketball arena in the country. He even started a blog, journeyto351.com, which he updates regularly after every game he attends in-person.
Nardini recently visited Syracuse for the Orange’s win over Wake Forrest inside the Carrier Dome. He witnessed Brycen Goodine’s game-winner and wrote about his experience on his site, which included a fascinating Taco Time anecdote.
