Really emotional. Proof again of the compassion and giving nature of the Uconn WBB team/Chris/Geno.

Why?

I'm a bit of a mush-mush when I see kids gets so excited.....and the young lady overwhelmed by seeing her heroes up close.

Did you catch one saying : "I feel blessed!" Kia is keenly aware of her rock star sports status in Canada and takes her role model status very seriously, wanting to grow the participation of bring more Canadian young women into NCAA basketball.

I believe it is the Ryerson AC in the background of Phee's autographing late in the video. So during not after ... post-game.

Me too... My son thinks it's nuts that I have a framed photo of KLS and myself with Gampel in the background, hanging in our sun room complete with the ticket for that day's game.

...and some wonder why we “love” these kids we’ve never met. There’s nothing phoney about the decency and caring these young women live out. Who wouldn’t be proud to be a parent of such people?

Did anyone notice Molly coming out late and (probably to her surprise) actually being asked to sign one autograph (which she did)?

She was probably more flattered to be asked than the kid was to get her autograph.

That is about as kool as it gets!!!

Great post - thank you - gave me a good cry!
Everything each of you said is how I feel. These young women on the U Conn truly get it! Yes it was very touching seeing Molly's reaction too!
Now go and play well tonight against Texas!
