Geno Auriemma, Paige Bueckers, and Nika Mühl speak to the media after their 78-42 win over the Georgetown Hoyas in the championship round of the Big East Women's Basketball Tournament.
I noticed with Geno that he is very reluctant to give his players a compliment but when he does he makes sure he adds in a dig as well. He's a great coach though.....THE BEST!!!
This news conference is why i love UCONN . UCONN is 1# program in the country. I think they are a class act . I will always be a fan. Thank you Coach and all the Players!
I feel this is the 'GOLD" standard for post-game press conferences (i.e., NCAAWBB). It was full of grace, authenticity and wisdom. I especially was moved by Paige's 'T (for tear) shirt'. Warren Doyle (UConn 1971-81 - Organizer of the 109-day, 2,100-mile UCONN Appalachian Trail -Circle Expeditions (9175; 1980) that had an unheard of 100% completion rate - then and now).
watching you all grow is why I watch - it’s like being a surrogate uncle in a great family - thanks for all you are and all you become in front of or eyes
I’d love to know what Nika was pointing out to Paige (“yo”) on that paper. Whatever it was- Paige’s reaction: 🤣 Every day I wish Nika would change her mind and come back next season. I bet I’m not alone.
Let’s take it one by one. She’s grown up a lot but we haven’t seen her against any of the top front court players yet. But if Aliyah can get some minutes by the second week, the pair of them might make a game against SC look a lot different. Our biggest problems now are foul trouble. With only Qadence (who can’t yet play as a teammate well and whose defense is weak) and Ines as the only backups, a few bad fouls or foul calls could kill us.
