From Rich:

UConn will also honor its student-athlete’s that have earned a 3.0 grade point average or higher in the Spring 2011 or Fall 2012 semester, those with a 4.0 GPA and UConn’s academic support staff at halftime. The Huskies who will be honored are Heather Buck, Stefanie Dolson, Caroline Doty, Kelly Faris and Kiah Stokes.

Not only do we have a great basketball team, but a very smart one!

"Student-athlete's"? Really Rich? Wouldn't normally comment on that, but since it's a post about recognizing scholastic achievement, it's a little funny/ironic.

PS- congrats to the WBB players and all of the other UConn student-athletes who will be recognized.

Alex...Well, if it is your kid there is reduced irony. I always understood that academics trumped college athletics for my sons.

Blame the editor, not Rich. Editing seems to be a lost art these days.

Mel Thomas wrote about that in her book. She had to schedule her life tightly in order to get everything done.

No 4.0 types on the basketball team - but still, 3.0 and up isn't chicken feed - and special kudos to our frosh Kiah!!!

I am impressed and proud of yet another great accomplishment of our team. I tried to think about how they could fit everything they need to accomplish into the few hours we have each day. But then I realized I spent at least as much time drinking beer and chasing girls as the average UConn basketball player spends on basketball, so their achievements are possible. Not at all easy, but possible.

How do we know that none of the ladies had 4.0 GPA's? Was it mentioned in some other thread?

If Caroline has a 4.0 as a pre-kinesiology major, she is a braaainnnnn
