Swin has always been one of my favorites

Will the ceremony happen pregame or at halftime? TIA

 

[FairView]

Our season tix are the top row right below Swin's jersey on the wall.
(We'e turned down upgrades over the last few years that move us down a few rows. We prefer the nice space behind us and love the view.)
Watch the ceremony, We are planning to show Swin how much Connecticut loves her.

I would guess Geno may be busy at half time.

I must admit that "Fair and Balanced" snark is somehow most satisfying!

Swin is from a Mon Valley steel mill town very near Pittsburgh. She played at McKeesport High and AAU ball locally. Those of us with Pittsburgh roots are quite proud of her success and her outstanding character attributes. She is a "yinzer" in the best sense.

 

[JellyBean]

Yes indeed. Congrats, Swin. Huge honor and well deserved.

Would not mind Swin on the bench getting the team amped.

so what the heck took 20 years and why wasn't #3 retired in honor of DT (not implying Swin doesn't deserve it)?

DT is not in the hall of fame yet

You have to be retired as a player for 'x' years before you are eligible for the Naismith HOF which is the requirement at Uconn for number retirement.

Give it time and Sue and DT will get there, and probably Breanna a number of years later. Wonder if Maya will be inducted at some point as well - she had a short, but very productive pro career after a great college career. Tina is also probably worth of being considered.

Azzi honored Swin with her 32 points!!

Maya is a lock for Springfield, and Tina is likely a lock. The only question about Maya is "when?" because she hasn't officially retired. She could be inducted as soon as next year. Sue should be inducted in 2025, 3 years after her retirement.

Did the Basketball HOF drop the requirement that the Women have to be a member of the Women's Basketball HOF?

Guess who this former Husky player is. Apparently FS1 doesn't know either.
