@BobRumbold (WTNH SPORTS)
As someone who was there on the ground floor of @HartfordMBB going D-1 I know how much @CoachGalUHart team making the NCAA'S means to those who were there at the beginning. I just wish Coach Jack Phelan and the fantastic Voice of the Hawks George Ehrlich were here to see it!!!

John Gallagher on Hartford's first Div. 1 coach, Jack Phelan, who died last summer: "Jack Phelan took us to Division 1 36 years ago. Jack had a vision. Him and his wife Patti and their three boys, they are a part of this."

@DarrenDemeterio (ESPN Producer)
About a year ago I booked @HartfordMBB @CoachGalUHart on SportsCenter. As an alumni it was thrilling despite the circumstances of the Championship Game being canceled. To wake up today to the fact that we are going to the dance gives me so much pride. Absolutely wonderful.

@DickJerardi (Legendary Philly sports writer)
Gal and Hartford to NCAA. Tournament will never be the same. 1-3-1 halfcourt a strategic masterstroke at perfect time in AE champ game. Known Coach Gal for 35 years. Nobody like him. From O'Hara to St. Joe's to coaching odyssey to today and now to next week in Indy. A wild ride.

@UconnNetch
My uncle, a UHart alum and varsity letter winner that loves @HartfordMBB and has a hatred for UConn that dates back to the 70s, is heading to Indy to watch @CoachGalUHart and the Hawks. He is unreasonable and crazy with his UConn takes, but I'm stoked for him.
