UConn's Geno Auriemma: NCAA WBB Sweet 16 Press Conference - 3/25/21

UConn's Geno Auriemma talks to the media ahead of the Huskies Sweet 16 matchup with Iowa on Saturday.

Chris Dailey did a superb job as head coach and deserves a lot of credit for taking over at the last minute!

[@thetexastrucker7934]

Everyone is giving CD too much credit. Any college coach can run this team. How hard really was it for her to take over even if it was unexpected. She's been AHC for thirty years she doesn't have to prep for that. Besides the team already knows how to play ball.

[@sandisteinberg1579]

@@thetexastrucker7934 Wow! Do I denote a big dose of sexism here? What if Chris were Christopher? By your reckoning, players don't need ANY coaches since they already know how to play! Or is it just female coaches?

[@doogert8594]

@@sandisteinberg1579 no there is no sexism there. Love how easily people jump to that bull crap. CD was handed the keys to a porch and they told her--don't crash it. She's awesome. She does a great job. She has received plenty of credit. Stop with the sexism card every damn time you hear something you don't like.

Chris is a right on women🏀

@@doogert8594 I call it as I see it! You are certainly free to disagree, but DON'T tell me or others what not to do! You're totally out of line!

We're praying for all the young athletes. UCONN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL 🏀 ROCK 🎸. Coach Awesome to see you back.

[@914Rocky]

And welcome back to Geno. As great as CD and Jamelle did, there is a lot of comfort in having our rock, the 🐐 back.

[@edlearned460]

Geno has forgotten more about the game of basketball than most coaches know. There's a reason he's won 11 national championships.. SUPER GLAD he's back. This is when his acumen is most noticeable. Watch him come up w some defensive tweaks that will gum up the Iowa offense. On short notice too!

[@914Rocky]

I gotta give kudos to the press. Not a single inane question. They were all on point.

[@watchdog4234]

Well, buckle up... Like to see Nika play a big role.

[@simeonlacson5466]

Sure win coz coach is great and humble

[@marioesparza7784]

Welcome to San Antonio Coach.

[@PossMcLeod]

A wise man with extremely wise answers. #respect

[@roberthernandez839]

Welcome back coach Geno and coach Shea. Now our coaching staff will be back at full strength. Now just waiting for waiting for Nika to come back. Lets go Huskies !

[@edzgutierrez6945]

Go Huskies this would be a tough game playing Iowa

[@andrewalberico6297]

A voice of reason. This will be very tough game. Iowa will score. Maybe big. If UConn has a bad shooting game, they can very well lose. They will have to play "lights out" defense.

[@samcockrell]

This the start of the finals again they will win it no matter who they play💰

[@heavyfeatherasmr4521]

Go huskies I hope Paige steps up like usual so we can catch this dub !!!

[@orlandotocano1323]

If Huskies get into the championship game they will win it, the only true test will be the Final Four game against Stanford or maybe Louisville

[@chiloise8206]

Iowa is easy for uconn...its because iowa is only depending much scoring on Clark...that is why when game time comes uconn will have a better game than Iowa

[@GoodFang]

Then we worry about Paige accepting the blame if UConn loses..which she will cause she is made that way...

[@lecowardjames]

PAIGE EAT CLARK
