Red Sox plane en route to Houston got ‘loud’ right after ‘epic’ moment
The shocking play elicited a boisterous reaction from Red Sox players, coaches and staff.
HOUSTON — The Red Sox were in the air heading from Cincinnati to Houston on Sunday evening when UConn pulled off a stunning upset over Duke. Braylon Mullins sank a 35-foot 3-pointer with 0. 4 seconds remaining to put the Huskies ahead 73-72 after UConn stole the ball from the Blue Devils.
The shocking play elicited a boisterous reaction from players, coaches and staff. “It was loud,” manager Alex Cora said before Monday’s game between the Red Sox and Astros at Daikin Park . Cora then joked, “It was loud for different reasons, right?
Probably somebody lost money. ” UConn will play Illinois in the Final Four, pitting two Red Sox coaches against each other. “We’ve got Huddy against Peter now in the semifinals,” Cora said.
Third base coach Kyle Hudson played both baseball and football at Illinois. Hudson had an outstanding football career. He led Illinois with 469 receiving yards on 31 receptions as a freshman in 2005.
