Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is betting Indiana Gov. Mike Pence a basket of Connecticut-grown agricultural products that the University of Connecticut’s women’s basketball team will beat Notre Dame tonight.

If the Huskies win, Malloy will receive a basket of Hoosier agricultural products. Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman is getting in on the fun as well and betting Indiana’s Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann a basket of Connecticut, chocolate, cheese, syrup, and wine, while Ellspermann is betting chocolates from the famous South Bend Chocolate company.

Attorney General George Jepsen, who won a ham last year when the women defeated Louisville, is wagering some Connecticut wine. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller countered with some Indiana beer and a Notre Dame mug.
