Show Summary: On today's episode of Locked On UConn, we explore why Geno Auriemma's preseason assessment of Sarah Strong actually undersold her brilliance, how her historic performances continue to elevate the Huskies, and the broader impact of young stars like Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers on women's basketball. Sarah Strong's dominance on the court and humility off it make her the cornerstone of UConn's future, as she joins the ranks of Maya Moore and Christyn Williams with dual weekly Big East honors. Plus, we delve into Caitlin Clark's Time Athlete of the Year feature and what it reveals about the growing cultural relevance of women's basketball. Show Notes: Segment 1: Sarah Strong's Dominance on the Court and Youth Off ItSarah Strong has continued to impress in her freshman campaign, recently earning Big East Player of the Week and Freshman of the Week honors, a dual recognition shared only by UConn legends Maya Moore and Christyn Williams. Strong has redefined what it means to be a freshman at UConn, leading the team in rebounds, blocks, and steals while ranking second in scoring. Her advanced metrics surpass even Breanna Stewart and Paige Bueckers at the same stage of their careers, solidifying her place as one of the most impactful players in college basketball. Geno Auriemma called her skill set the best he's seen in a post player since Stewart, further emphasizing her value to the Huskies' championship hopes. While she's a mature force on the court, Strong's lighthearted postgame moment following her 21-point performance against Louisville—where she admitted not knowing what “Go-Go Gadget arms” meant—was a rare glimpse into her youth. Her play, however, continues to silence any doubts about her ability to thrive under immense pressure. Segment 2: Caitlin Clark's Influence and Women's Basketball's Bright FutureShifting to Caitlin Clark, her recent recognition as Time Athlete of the Year reflects her influence both on and off the court. Clark's candid interview delves into the privilege she acknowledges as a white player in a league built on the excellence of Black athletes, showing her self-awareness and willingness to push for equity. Her thoughtful remarks also tackle the unique challenges faced by female athletes, from gender-based double standards to intense scrutiny over emotional responses during games. Clark's transparency and charisma make her a generational star, and her rise comes as the WNBA is poised to receive its most talented wave of players yet. With stars like Paige Bueckers entering the professional ranks soon and players like Sarah Strong waiting in the wings, women's basketball is experiencing a golden era that continues to break barriers and captivate audiences. Segment 3: Sarah Strong's Place in UConn's Legacy and Women's Basketball's FutureReturning to Sarah Strong, her Big East honors mark another chapter in her remarkable journey. Her ability to impact both ends of the court and her statistical dominance elevate her to a level of stardom usually reserved for seasoned veterans. With players like Strong setting new standards, the future of UConn basketball and women's basketball as a whole is brighter than ever. Strong joins a lineage of excellence at UConn, but her unique blend of skills and leadership potential position her as a generational talent capable of leading the Huskies for years to come. As the team prepares for its next challenge against No. 8 Notre Dame, Sarah Strong's performances will be critical, not just for UConn's success this season but for continuing to build the legacy of one of the most storied programs in college basketball. FanDuel Ad Copy:Get ready to tackle the NFL action with FanDuel, America's Number One Sportsbook!

She's not just meeting the bar set by past greats like Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart—she's raising it. As we celebrate her accomplishments and look forward to future matchups, it's clear that Sarah Strong is more than just a freshman phenom—she's the future of UConn basketball. With players like Strong, Bueckers, and Clark shaping the game, the next era of women's basketball promises to be the most exciting yet. This has been another episode of Locked On UConn. Stay locked on and stay connected. Remember, it's not just about getting it done—it's about doing it in a way that can't be done any better. Go Huskies!

This month we are joined by Maya Moore Irons and Jonathan Irons! Basketball icon, Maya is a two-time NCAA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, four-time WNBA champion, and WNBA MVP. In February of 2019, Maya revealed that she would miss the upcoming season to focus on family and ministry dreams. Later that year, in a New York Times feature, Maya first went into detail about Jonathan Irons and his wrongful imprisonment and later opted to miss the 2020 season to continue focusing on Jonathan's case and was ultimately successful when his conviction was vacated in March 2020, and he walked free that July. Maya has since come to be recognized as one of sport and culture's most important social justice icons. Jonathan Irons was only eighteen-years-old when he was wrongly convicted by an all-white jury for a crime that occurred when he was sixteen. With no physical evidence tying him to the crime, Jonathan was handed a fifty-year prison sentence, of which he served twenty-three years. After a twenty year long effort by Jonathan, Maya, her family, and other supporters, Jonathan was finally released in July of 2020. The next day, Jonathan proposed to Maya, and weeks later, they were married. Despite over two decades of unjust incarceration, Irons turned his cell into a classroom, pursuing legal studies and advocacy. His fight for exoneration highlighted systemic flaws and inspired a movement for change. He mentored fellow inmates, advocating for rehabilitation and societal reintegration. Upon release, he became a leader in criminal justice reform, advocating for the rights of marginalized groups and offering insights into reentry challenges. Additionally, he mentors disadvantaged youth, demonstrating the transformative power of resilience and determination. Jonathan's story is a call to action for justice, equity, and compassion, inspiring him to change and hope for a better world. Maya and Jonathan were invited to talk with us about their new book, Love and Justice: A Story of Triumph on Two Different Courts. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Today, he and his wife, former WNBA superstar Maya Moore, run Win With Justice, a nonprofit educating the public about how the justice system works, the potential for abuses that exist—and how people can help prisoners looking for a second chance.
