How UConn Took Over the #BleedBlue Hashtag

Shortly after the women’s basketball team secured a spot in their unprecedented 12th-straight Final Four, UConn athletic director David Benedict, now an avid tweeter, got some fans excited with a new addition to the #BleedBlue slogan on Twitter.

According to the university, Twitter’s sports department reached out to UConn shortly after the women’s basketball team defeated Louisville last weekend to commemorate the Huskies making the Final Four. While this has been done in the past for teams that have made the men’s Final Four, this is the first year they have done this for women’s event.
