RIP Marsiella Auriemma | The Boneyard

RIP Marsiella Auriemma

God bless her and the family.

I remember her getting angry with Geno because she felt he was being
mean to Svetlana...my sense is she loved all the players...uhh..Geno too.
May have the wrong game...but I think she sprinkled some holy water on the team as they
left the court at halftime of the 2000 championship game in Philly between UConn and
LadyVol....sure did no harm!

For most parents, your sense of self and the most prominent source of joy in your life is intimately linked to your children. I am sure that was true for Marsiella Auriemma. She would have been incredibly proud of her son today. RIP to a wonderful woman.

I remember that too- "don't you yell at Svetlana, she's here all by herself" or words to that effect.

May she rest in peace and my sympathies to Coach Auriemma & his family
 
Too bad that ABC had a memorial for Brenda's family at halftime (I think it was her father, not sure), and didn't mention Geno's Mom. I'll give ABC the benefit of the doubt, that they didn't know Geno's Mom had passed, but still disappointed they didn't do their homework.

Privileged to have met this lady @ the Columbus Final Four
 
Whenever Geno was aggravated with his team's rebounding performance, he'd always bring up his mother. If a player had 0 rebounds, he would say "you got the same number of rebounds as my mother did."
