Really nice to see the team called “The Defending National Champions”. Will never get sick of that.

Let’s keep it that way!

Don't say that in front of Geno. He does not believe in Defending National Champions, not for UConn.

Excited to see UConn potentially play Michigan! Would be a good matchup.

Kind of funny how Laila transferred to Cuse and now she'll be facing her former team.

I can still remember a TV special as UConn entered a new season and on the practice court they all huddled up to hear Geno say you are not Defending Champions, you won it and nobody can take it away, and then he went on to say there is another one waiting out there.
