Veteran comedian and actor Bill Murray was spotted in Brooklyn while his son, Luke Murray, was an assistant coach for the defending champion Connecticut Huskies.
Bill has attended a number of games to watch his son, including the Final Four in Houston last year when UConn won their fifth national championship game.
Luke Murray has been an assistant coach under head coach Dan Hurley for several years – including when Hurley coached at Wagner and Rhode Island before arriving at UConn – and is one of the top college basketball recruiters in the country.
On Friday, the Huskies began their title defense with a matchup against Stetson University in the opening round of March Madness.
UConn led the Hatters 52-19 at the end of the first half.
