(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont of Connecticut and Governor Gavin Newsom of California have placed a friendly wager on the outcome of tonight’s NCAA men’s basketball championship game, in which the UConn Huskies will face the San Diego State Aztecs.

Governor Lamont wrote on Twitter [[link removed]] that he is betting a basket of Connecticut Grown [[link removed]] beer and wine and a collection of Munson’s Chocolates [[link removed]] that the Huskies will claim victory. Governor Newsom replied [[link removed]] that he will wager a crate of California avocados that the Aztecs take the title.

“The Huskies remain the most powerful and most energetic basketball team in the nation, and I am confident they have what it takes to bring a fifth NCAA championship trophy back home to Connecticut – the basketball capital of the world,” Governor Lamont said. “The Aztecs are a formidable team and Governor Newsom is a terrific governor and friend, however I have a feeling that pretty soon a shipment of goods will be traveling from Sacramento to Hartford.”

Tip-off for tonight’s game is at 9:20 p.m. ET.
