A great team, with tremendous talent, and a coach who knows how to coach, whatever opinions he generates.

I just think that if the NCAA can just give them a few more home games during he tournement it would be so awesome because we all like one team to win all the time.../sarcasm/

I know several players here and must say that Brianna is getting to look like the new Ann Donovan; Stephanie is improving as well.

Question is, which team will get the youngest Samuelson?

9 national championships ( 9-0 in finals ) - 5 undefeated seasons ! Remember athletic director John Toner ? He got UConn into the Big East and hired both Calhoun and Auriemma - which started the dynasty !

Another Great season that us Husky fans expects. We did what so far we did once before, man’s and woman’s finished #1. UCONN is the only school that did it, 2004 and this year.

Always wondered why a man would want to coach a woman’s basketball team.
