Caroline Ducharme is proud to be a Boston sports fan and she sees some of the same passionate traits with UConn women's basketball fans.

"Why does she (Caroline) wear 33 on her jersey? Partly because she loves Larry Bird, who played his last NBA game 11 years before Ducaharme was born."

"She grew up watching the Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox, and Bruins."

“My parents were huge Celtics fans, Larry Bird fans, and I think I just kind of followed she said. I just loved his game and the way he played. Similar to him. I've never been the most athletic, fastest, strongest guy on the floor, so really to be able to watch him and how he plays, and learn from him, is great.”

"It’s not lost on her that she’s now playing for the version of the team she grew up worshiping.
“Just being part of a winning culture,” she said."

Not a bad guy for Caroline to try to emulate

Exactly. I have wondered if the reason she chose 33 was because of the Greatest (Team) Player's work ethic and abilities. Now I know. I love how Caroline plays the game.
On an OT note, I stopped watching MBB when Larry retired, IMO it was going to be the end of an era. (It was...)

CD looked so good against Baylor. The best she’s looked since before head injury last year.

I still think her game more resembles
Dave Debusschere.....
But Larry and Dave weren't that dissimilar.

I checked...their careers didn't overlap.

This makes me like her even more! She couldn’t find a better, more apt, player to emulate than Larry Legend! I’m hoping she too can win three championships! She has been, and continues to be, one of my favorite Huskies. I wish her success, happiness, good health, and a place on the wall!
