Well it's easy to see how UConn players win the fan vote things - they have more fans!

BTW Paige Bueckers has 3.7X as many Instagram followers (475,000) as the UConn women's team, which itself has more than 2.5X the teams roughly tied for 2nd place (Oregon, S. Carolina, Duke)...

Paige is up to 490K IG followers. Most of Minnesota and Connecticut.

Azzi has 140K, which is a lot.

I'm a tad surprised at the huge gap between #1 and #2. UCONN almost has twice as many total followers as Tennessee. Given that Geno is not "hip" on social media and doesn't care for it, I'm surprised there are so many followers. Maybe one of the assistants, or even the grad assistant, should be responsible for his social media presence - then again, maybe he wants control over that. Anyway surprised and impressed!

I am a fan of UConn WBB, but I have no social media accounts and so I suppose I am not a "Follower" as defined here. Probably true of many teams. But given the age profile of the BY and the people in the seats at games, the fact that UConn has so many followers is a nice surprise.

Just imagined if they also took the following on the BoneYard into account.... after all it is social media isn't it?

When it comes to social media I thing Geno is like the guy in the poker game who shows his hand and says, "Is it good if I have three of the same and two of the other." Geno can probably talk binary code.
