Geno Auriemma Bravely Defies Silly NCAA Rule By Drinking Out Of Water Bottle

Of the many stupid NCAA rules and regulations that people tend to notice in March, the insistence that public-facing people—coaches, players, even folks in the media room—drink only from NCAA-branded cups ranks pretty far up there. During yesterday’s Final Four press conference, UConn coach Geno Aur...

Is There Any Way UConn Blows This?

UConn Scored 94 Points In One Mind-Blowing Half

If a mercy rule is ever created for college basketball, it should be called the Geno Auriemma rule.

Geno Auriemma On Decrease In Female Basketball Coaches: Ladies Just Don't Want To Coach, Duh [Updated]

The number of female coaches at women’s basketball programs has been decreasing in recent years, just as has been the case for women’s sports at large over the past several decades.

Ex-UConn Soccer Player Sues School After Losing Scholarship Over Middle Finger

In 2014, then-UConn women’s soccer freshman Noriana Radwan flipped off the ESPNU camera in a fit of excitement after the Huskies won their conference championship. I don’t think it reveals too much bias to say the act was, however shocking (not that shocking), effectively harmless....
