Bryant, clad in UConn colors, also shared a moment with ESPN reporter Holly Rowe:
Unfortunately for Bryant, the Huskies lost in the national semifinal for the second straight season as the Fighting Irish pulled out a 91-89 overtime win after Arike Ogunbowale hit a game-winning jumper with a second to go in the extra session.
"I know I just had to shoot it at the last minute," Ogunbowale told Rowe after the win (h/t SB Nation's Kristian Winfield). "I mean, I didn't want to give them a chance to get the ball. I went into Mamba Mentality. Kobe's here, so that's what I had to channel."
