On the team’s continuing popularity

“I’m in a dark place, scrolling on TikTok, and all of a sudden I see Paige shooting a freaking three. I’m like, that is the coolest thing ever,” Steward said. “I just started watching games and fell in love with it … Watching them pulled me out of it, so to be able to come is just awesome. I’ve been a big fan of Paige and a big fan of Nika, so it was so surreal. I still can’t even believe I’m here.”

Some others get more press, but Paige, Nika, Aaliyah, and Caroline also attract plenty of fans to WCBB.

We go when UConn visits Seton hall. I have great pictures of Paige, Aliyah, Azzi, and others with our daughter.

They are all so nice and you can see the genuine warmth in every one of them.

In high school members of opponent teams would line up for Paige's autograph. At least initially that had to feel a bit weird for Paige. With years of this adulation she has still remained relatively grounded, which is impressive.

I'm sure many of you are men's team fans too.

Here's a photo from the dream season (1989-90), a friend and I were using Marc Suhr's tickets to sit behind the players' bench (family section) for the Senior Night game:

The Women's team is made up of Rockstars, who don't act like it ! They are truly THE national brand for WCBB, and it's not even close.

No wonder there wasn't a foul called, Geno is talking to that blind ref that misses every foul when it comes to UConn and calls everything against UConn even if there isn't a foul.
