Bill Murray, Larry David watch NCAA game at the TD Garden
UConn’s men’s college victory over Illinois on Saturday night was a laugher.
On many levels.
Among the sellout crowd at the TD Garden in Boston watching UConn destroy Illinois, 77-52, to punch its ticket to the Final Four were comedians and actors Bill Murray and Larry David.
David, sitting a row back near the UConn bench, didn’t even try to curb his enthusiasm, although he did depart the game before the final buzzer as the Huskies romped to the regional championship thanks to an astounding 30-0 run.
Also spotted in the crowd was Murray, star of “Caddyshack,” “Ghostsbusters” and “Groundhog Day,” among other classics.
Murray, an avid sports fan, was born in Evanston, Ill., so the final score was probably no laughing matter for the 73-year-old icon.
The regional at the TD Garden was a rousing success. It attracted top-flight basketball – and a couple of A-list celebs.
