“The fascination is always about who's next, almost overlooking who's here, who's doing what right now,” Auriemma said. “That's why my focus is always on our seniors and upperclassmen, and how our upperclassmen have to be great, how they have to lead and take on another role than the one they used to have.

If these three players have a phenomenal season then we have a chance to be really, really good.”
