Auriemma wins 12th title I News Brief I Browns #2 pick questions

Is SDSU vs UConn the biggest sporting event in the history of South Dakota State — and maybe even the state of South Dakota — considering the Jackrabbits' opponent, the stakes, and the national stage this game is on?Yes, there have been football FBS national titles and Div. II men's and women's national titles, plus other matchups with big-name, top-notch big league schools in the big sports. But this is the all-time women's national program (record 11 titles), still coached by the inarguable best (or most decorated) coaching titan of the entire sport, in the NCAA Tournament, not just a November or December non-conference game.This is Geno Auriemma and Paige Bueckers in the NCAA Tournaand a No. 2 seed that could win the national title!Matt Zimmer is there to talk about how historically relevant Monday night's game is, what kind of chances the Jackrabbits have, and how SDSU socred a satisfying but not necessarily surprising Jacks win over Oklahoma State on Saturday.Plenty of comparisons between the SDSU and UConn programs and coaches, and plenty of insight into some of the things Auriemma and Aaron Johnston and SDSU players had to say in his Sunday pre-game press conference, attended mostly by South Dakoa media.Would a victory be the greatest moment in South Dakota State athletics history — if not in state of South Dakota history.So much big game to discuss!

After a quiet first quarter, Strong exploded for a personal 10-0 run in the second and finished with 22 points, seven rebounds, and two steals in just 25 minutes. Strong's basketball IQ and poise set her apart, earning comparisons to UConn legends like Breanna Stewart and Stefanie Dolson. Through seven games, she's averaging 15.6 points and a team-high 5.9 rebounds while shooting 54.7% from the field. With a stretch of ranked opponents coming up, Strong's consistency and versatility will be key to UConn's success. Ad ReadGet ready to tackle NFL action with FanDuel!

A flat first quarter saw the Huskies shoot just 4-for-15, and they only managed a six-point lead at halftime. Geno Auriemma didn't hold back, pulling starters early and calling out his team's effort. The second half was a different story. Sarah Strong dominated, Kaitlyn Chen delivered a career-best performance with 14 points and seven assists, and the team showed the energy and focus needed to pull away. However, the game underscored a season-long issue: the inability to sustain focus for all four quarters. With Louisville, Notre Dame, Iowa State, and USC on the horizon, those lapses need to be addressed. Ad ReadThis episode is also brought to you by PrizePicks, the simplest fantasy sports app. Just pick two or more players, predict their stats, and you can win up to 25 times your money.

Geno Auriemma hinted that the rotation would tighten as the schedule gets tougher, and some players seized their chance. Morgan Cheli set a career-high with eight points, KK Arnold showed aggression, and Ice Brady tallied six assists. Looking ahead, UConn faces four ranked opponents in their next five games, a stretch that will reveal who Auriemma truly trusts in high-pressure situations. The rotation has leaned on stars like Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong, but bench players like Cheli and Arnold have an opportunity to carve out larger roles. As Geno put it, “These next three weeks will tell us a lot.” ClosingThank you for making Locked On UConn your first listen every day.

 In this episode of Locked On UConn Women, we celebrate history in the making as Geno Auriemma ties the all-time record for career wins with his 1,216th victory. The Huskies defeated No. 14 North Carolina in their first ranked test of the season, showcasing the dominance of Paige Bueckers and the promise of freshman Sarah Strong. Segment Highlights• Geno Auriemma's Milestone: We dive into what this achievement means for the program and how Auriemma continues to prioritize his players over personal accolades.• Paige Bueckers' Masterclass: With 29 points, including 16 in the first quarter, Bueckers reminded everyone why she's the frontrunner for National Player of the Year.• Sarah Strong's Homecoming: The freshman delivered her first career double-double in front of her hometown crowd, showing flashes of her immense potential despite some growing pains.• Looking Ahead: Paige Bueckers' potential future with the Dallas Wings as the likely No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, and what this means for women's basketball. Stay tuned for Wednesday's game against Fairleigh Dickinson, where Auriemma could officially become the winningest coach in college basketball history.

After securing his 1,216th career win, Geno Auriemma highlighted the pivotal role Chris Dailey has played throughout his career. He emphasized her integral contribution to building and sustaining UConn's culture and success over the years. Auriemma credited Dailey not just as a key figure in the program but as someone whose dedication and leadership have been instrumental in every victory. He acknowledged that while Dailey prefers to stay out of the spotlight, her impact is undeniable and deeply embedded in the program's legacy. With Chris Dailey now 17-0 as acting head coach in her career, what's more impressive: her perfect record when stepping in for Geno or the decades-long consistency and culture she's helped build at UConn? Both are remarkable, but which truly defines her legacy?

In today's Locked On UConn, host Mark Zanetto highlights Paige Bueckers' status as the best player in college basketball, breaking down her impressive performance against South Florida and the exceptional depth within UConn's roster.
