Now on Saturday, they'll be honored on Senior Day and will go up in the Huskies of Honor together. It's only fitting. "For me and Phee both to be up there, it's pretty amazing that we both came in and went through this together and get to see this together," Samuelson said. "We've always been seen as that (pair), I think it's really good," Collier echoed. "You have someone to lean on, you can talk about stuff you wouldn't be able to talk about with the rest of the team." "But whenever the coach started talking about Collier and Samuelson, he kept circling back to how they carry themselves off the court. It seemed like he was more proud of their development as people than anything they could do on the basketball court. "They're able to interact with everybody on the team," Auriemma said. "They're great with people that they meet. Everybody that they meet falls in love with them because of the way they are with them. They're the kind of kids you want to bring home with you. "They're just really good people. Individually and as a pair. They're just great individuals and great kids." [/QUOTE]
