The University of Idaho Marching Band, wearing Yale T-shirts, performs at the NCAA Tournament game between Yale and San Diego State in Spokane, Wash., on Sunday. The band has been honored in Connecticut for filling in as Bulldogs.
Yale's marching band wasn't able to travel to the game in Spokane, Wash., due to previously scheduled spring break plans,. Upon hearing this, the marching band from the University of Idaho — which hosted the first two rounds of the tournament — volunteered to fill in.
No. 13-seeded Yale defeated No. 4 Auburn in a stunning upset, winning just their second NCAA tournament game in school history."Having that atmosphere and the people coming out and supporting us, there's nothing better than that, and we can't appreciate them more than to be Bulldog fans," he said."And a lot of times when you're on the road and you're the underdog, a lot of times the crowd goes in your favor and that helped a little bit, too.
A spokesperson from Lamont's office told NPR by email that the governor, himself a Yale alum, wanted to show the University of Idaho that Connecticut appreciated its kindness.
