It is in the bag 😂 😍 Two days after a video surfaced of Auriemma dressing up as a practice player and playing one-on-one with Aubrey Griffin, the Hall of Fame coach joked that his special appearance on the court (clad with a headband, sweatband and some basketball shorts) may have had something to do with his team’s strong play. “That’s not a coincidence, you know,” Auriemma said. “Don’t discount the effect that that particular day had on our team. The intensity level was raised, the urgency level was raised. Certainly the level of play went up, the skill level went up, the basketball IQ level went up, and everybody just kind of fed off of that. “I waited as long as I could, but I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to break it out.” [/QUOTE]
